The video-sharing company YouTube has been the latest Internet firm forced to modify its site to comply with laws in a particular country. Earlier this month, an Istanbul (Turkey) court ordered local Internet Service Providers to block access to YouTube. The Court adopted the decision after videos deemed insulting to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the nation's founder, were uploaded into the site. The court maintained the ruling until YouTube removed said videos. Insulting Ataturk is punishable by imprisonment in Turkey."
