"Mission to Istanbul: Palfrey urges openness in Turkey
February 7, 2008
John Palfrey '01, clinical professor of law and executive director of the Berkman Center for Internet and Society, made a whirlwind visit to Turkey this week to urge authorities not to filter or censor content on the internet.
Last spring, the Turkish government issued a court order blocking YouTube after videos on the site were found to be derogatory towards Turkey’s founding father, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The blocking was heavily criticized both within Turkey and abroad, causing the government to lift the court order after two days."
