I heard lots of stupid things from Turkey, some of them are far more idiotic than this.
First of all, courts and government does not have to agree on a subject in Turkey which is a constutional republic, government must obey the judgement of the high courts. Second, this decision(blocking YouTube) is totally silly by itself. Cencorship is evil and there is no need to an EU argument.
Real reason of this bullshit is that the laws related to net in Turkey are very very outdated. In addition an ordinary turkish judge has little knowledge about the net, and lacks the ability to differentiate YouTube from PornTube!
A large part of the population are fairly islamist, but the military tends to jail whoever shouts loudly.
That's interesting, so they must have jailed the Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoan who is a well known pan-islamist. You can be sure that military does not like this man. Wait a minute! This man is in charge more than four years and probably be the next president of the republic.

A lot of terorism would melt away if US and other oil and natural gas hungry countries stop wageging wars in Middle East and other resourcefull areas.
