Turkey lifts ban on world's largest blog hosting service : Internet Technology

"Turkey lifts ban on world's largest blog hosting service

Ankara - Turkish internet users regained access to millions of blogs Tuesday after a court ordered a temporary reversal of a ban on a blog hosting website imposed Friday. The move reopens access to Blogger, a blog hosting service owned by Google. The service was banned by court order out of Diyarbakir after a Turkish station complained that some 60 blogs were illegally showing videos of Turkish football matches. Attempts to visit the site diverted users to a notice in English and Turkish explaining that access had been suspended."
