			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="western">People who sees this problem just as a legal subject or as a censorship law can only solve it for short term.</h3>
<p class="western" align="justify">The best way to understand this issue is through knowing the internet history of Turkey. Perception and appreciation of internet as a media has started with the foundation of haberturk.com. Haberturk used scandal news and events in order to call attentions as a news website. The need of controlling and inspecting the internet by hands of state begins when this site starts to becoming a thread to  the governing party of the time. A draft of law has been constituted. However since this act of law aims to control websites such as haberturk.com, it becomes censoring more than inspecting. Moreover, since legists who prepared it knows the traditional media more than the digital one, the law contains technically impossible procedures such as two photocopies of each webpage sent to local authorities etc. <span style="color:#ff0000;"> </span>Liberals who realized this reacted hard to the law. This caused the moderate renewal of the law.<br />
<span id="more-108"></span>But, despite all the softening, this new law signed by the President of  the time, Ahmet Necdet SEZER in 2005 contains censoring of media in its soul, so its logic of punishment was deep wide in order to increase its dissuasiveness. The law took the force of processing this logic from taboos of Turkish society such as child pornography, insult to Ataturk etc. That is because the legislation was enacted by agreement of all forces from media to public.  These forces of which the law received its support was its Achilles heel at the same time. May be by this analysis, or just by coincidence, immediately after the law was laid down, a video broadcasted in Youtube was sued for one of  the nine main components of the so known catalog crimes in Turkish lawbook. Eventually the case lead to a ban to Youtube due to those nine crimes mentioned.</p>
<p class="western" align="justify">This situation caused the forces in Turkey who supported this law once splitted into two. The main reason to this separation was not arised of the problem thereopen but the worries. Yet for the moment Youtube.com should show respect to the subject which is very sensitive in common for Turkish people and remove the video. However, liberal constitution interests in concerns more than the problem itself, it cares for Turkey not to remain in hands of censorship, and uncomfortable with the incapability of government handling the issue. For the moment, major aim of all groups who want youtube.com not to be banned is not more than the will of diverging from a censorious society. Besides, all forces of Turkish community owns an indisputable integrity about the removal of those visuals containing insults and disrespect to Ataturk, and demands esteem on our culture and merits.<strong>Turkish culture, though it molded its matriahal basics through tolerance, is committed deeply to their values which are protected from past to present and endowed with high pride and figure to serve them even if it worth their lives. </strong>Although this approach of Turks is seem paradoxical in many other cultures including European culture,it is the main speciality that makes Turkish people distinct in the world.<br />
To this reason, no matter how it is told, in order to remove this problem, primarily youtube.com has to show respect to Turkey’s culture and values.  <strong>People who sees this problem just as a legal subject or as a censorship law can only solve it for short term. </strong>Youtube, like many other international firms operating in Turkey, has to be respectful not only to our laws but also to our viewpoints. In this matter, Google groups should take companies operating for long time in Turkey such as <strong>Microsoft</strong> as an example. Yet, though similar problems are lived with facebook, the solution come easily alongwith the communication skills of <strong>Microsoft</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>İnternette özgürlük hepimizin en önemsediği konulardan biri. Geçen hafta dikkat ettim, Emre Aköz&#8217;den  Ali Saydam&#8217;a  Murat Belge&#8217;den Nazlı Ilıcak&#8217;a kadar birçok köşe yazarı internette yasaklamadan, internet programlarını boykota kadar çok değişik konularda yazılar yazdılar. Bu hafta sizlere araştırmadan köşe yazmanın ne gibi zararları olacağı konusunda yazmayı planlıyordum.<br />
Ama nasip değilmiş&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-694"></span>Bu yazıyı gelecek bir dönemde, bu konudaki mutsuzluğum arttığında yeniden gündeme getireceğimden emin olabilirsiniz.<br />
Bayramı, Ankara&#8217;da bir proje ile ilgili çalışarak geçirdim. Aslında bu sayede eski dostlarımı görüp, çok ilginç konularda bilgiler aldım.<br />
Bu bilgiler arasında en ilginçlerinden biri &#8220;Aktütün&#8221; olayı ile ilgiliydi. Ancak konumun dışında olduğundan ve net araştırma yapamadığımdan bu konuyu yazmayacağım.<br />
Türkiye&#8217;de internet siteleri neden kapatılıyor? Bu hafta konumuz bu. Ancak yazmayacağım konulardan bahsetmemin çok önemli bir sebebi var. Bunu ise yazının sonunda ileteceğim.<br />
Türkiye&#8217;de ilk erişimi engellenen site You Tube&#8217;dü. You tube ilk kapatıldığında konuk olduğum televizyon yayınlarında, bunun sebebinin 22 Mayıs 2007 tarihinde zamanın cumhurbaşkanı Necdet Sezer tarafından onaylanan ve kamuoyunun internet sansür yasası olarak bildiği 5651 sayılı yasa olduğunu söylüyordum.<br />
5651 sayılı &#8220;İnternet Ortamında Yapılan Yayınların Düzenlenmesi ve Bu Yayınlar Yoluyla İşlenen Suçlarla Mücadele Edilmesi Hakkında Kanun&#8221;a göre, internet ortamında Atatürk&#8217;e hakaret içeren yayınlar, Telekomünikasyon Kurumu tarafından engellenecekti.<br />
Kanunun yürütmelikleri çıkraken, Telekominikasyon Kurumu bizden de öneri aldı. Görüşmeler sırasında yasa çocuk pornosundan korunmayı&#8217;da kapsayacak şekilde düzenlendi.<br />
Ancak bugün ulaştığı noktaya baktığımızda, birçok sitenin erişiminin engellenmesinin, kişisel davalara kadar basitleştiğini görüyoruz. Sırf ekşisözlük&#8217;deki yazılardan rahatsız olduğu için dava açıp kazanıp, onu yasaklamak niyetinde olan onlarca kişi tanıyorum.<br />
Peki bunu nasıl yapıyorlar?<br />
Açtıkları davayı kazandıklarında, Telekominikasyon Kurumuna siteye erişimin engellenmesi konusunda bir yazı yolluyorlar. TK gelen kararın kendi alanına girip girmediğini inceliyor. Girmediğinde gerekçeli kararı geri yolluyor. Gelen karar üzerine avukat yeniden bir dava açıyor. Bu davayı kazanırsa, hakimden servis sağlayıcıların o siteye erişimini engelleme kararı çıkarmasını istiyor. Bu sayede konu TK&#8217;nın arkasından da dolaşılarak bitiriliyor.<br />
Avukatlar bunu da beceremezlerse sitede künye bulunmadığından tutunda, konulan resmin telif haklarından yola çıkarak bir dava açıyor. Sonuçta siteyi kapatıyorlar.<br />
Bunu öğrenince belki sitelere neden erişilemediği bilgisinn konmasının doğru olacağını, bununeskiden yapıldığını ama şimdi neden yapılmadığını sorgulamaya başladım.<br />
Çok ilginç, bu kararın konması, hakimi hedef göstermek olarak algılanıyormuş. Bu nedenle hakimler bu kararın konulmaması kararını aldırabiliyormuş.<br />
Ben geldiğimiz noktayı, taksimin girişinde yanlış birşeyler duymasınlar diye herkese kulaklık dağıtma çabası olarak algılıyor ve gülüyorum. Peki neden yanlış konuşan kişileri yakalayıp susturmuyoruz?<br />
Bu kadar karmaşık bir noktaya nasıl geldik?<br />
İşte bizim genel hatamız bu. Bir iki video&#8217;yu kaldırmak için diplomatik bir ilişki kuramıyacak durumdaki kişiler, konunun yetkilisi olunca, bu beceriksizlik bizi bu noktaya getiriyor.<br />
Fatih Altaylı&#8217;nın Kanal 1&#8242;deki haberlerini hergün seyrediyorum. Size &#8220;Aktütün&#8221;den, internet yazan köşe yazarlarından bu nedenle bahsettim. Zira artık işini doğru yapmayanların bu yeni Türkiye düzeninde yeri olmayacak.</p>

Youtube was blocked by the court 40 days before today. Unfortunately this banning is occurred in a country of last centuries visionary leader Ataturk founded.</p>
<p><span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p>YouTube blocked for more than a month is an “unacceptable” act of censorship<br />
The blocking of access to the video-sharing website YouTube in Turkey since 5 May as a result of orders issued by three Ankara magistrate courts is “unacceptable,” Reporters Without Borders said today<br />
“YouTube is not the only file-sharing site that is blocked in Turkey,” Reporters Without Borders said. “Official decisions of this kind to censor the Internet constitute serious violations of freedom of expression and information. Turkish Internet users can no longer share their videos with the outside world or view other people’s videos. We reiterate our appeal to the authorities to act judiciously by asking YouTube to remove the offending videos. Blocking the entire site is unacceptable.”<br />
An Ankara magistrate court issued orders on 24 and 30 April for the blocking of YouTube without giving its grounds for these decisions. Another Ankara magistrate court issued a similar order on 5 May.<br />
YouTube representatives have said the website’s editors have taken the necessary steps to withdraw the offending videos that appear to have prompted these decisions.<br />
The photo-sharing website Slide has been inaccessible since 25 March as a result of a court’s decision in Çivril (southwest of Ankara) that was prompted by “photos and articles considered insulting to Atatürk.” Google Groups, Google’s discussion site, has been inaccessible since 10 April as a result of an action brought by religious leader Adnan Oktar claiming he was defamed in comments posted on the site.<br />
Law 5651 on “the organisation of online publications and combatting offences committed by means of such publications,” in force since November 2007, enables prosecutors to block access to websites within 24 hours if their content is deemed liable to incite suicide, pedophilia, drug usage, obscenity or prostitution or violate a law forbidding any attacks on the memory of the Turkish republic’s founder, Atatürk.</p>
