All my support goes to the Turkish government for trying to abrupt the Western propaganda and disrupting the influences of American secret national agencies. It is no secret that the protests and revolutions in Syria, Egypt, Tunis and the like were caused by internal fabrications from American soil so they could use the uproar for settling marionettes and proper satellite states instead of having to deal with nations which are against America and Israel.
Hopefully the Turkish government is successful in its endeavors to protect its citizens from a faux-revolution fed by propaganda easily spread in this digital age (i.e. Youtube and Twitter, Facebook is of high concern too).
The only counter-measure is to shut. it. down.

- yulaow 13y agoPersonally I think this reasoning is totally bullshit. People have a brain and can easily discern and analyze the information they get from different sources. Internet, in this sense, is the main "method" to get information for gazzillion different sources, compare them, discuss with other people with other ideas and, in the end, come to a objective conclusion. Shut it down is not at all a counter-measure... rather I suspect that only will push the people to rage against the oppressors of freedom to get information. That's a suicide measure and also the worst one because people will instantly think "woah, so this guy must have something really bad to hide if he is literally trying to shut down the internet".
- digitalengineer 13y agoIsn't the saying something along the lines of "a person is smart but people are dumb"? It was proven there were NGO's stirring up things in Kiev. It was also proven they totally lost control and now we have armed militants (neonazi's?) even demonstrating their 'power' by showing up in parliament. (This made Putins say, now he can claim to protect the Russian minority).

- camus2 13y agoPlease, USA already supports the turkish governement... Ff it was not the case you would be hearing Obama say How bad Turkey is regarding "human rights and democracy".
- hindsightbias 13y agoThe West wants to undermine their ally (Turkey) agaist Syria? Interesting theory. Or maybe one of Syria's allies has their own intel capacity...
- logfromblammo 13y agoYour argument seems to be that the happenings in your locale are attributable to avaricious, power-mad sociopaths operating governments in other places. I should point out that, while this may be true, it does not rule out the hypothesis that avaricious, power-mad sociopaths are also operating the government that claims you as its subject. While it is also true that the Internet is filled to the brim with lies, propaganda, jokes, sarcasm, pornography, and cute cat videos, it also contains some genuine facts. As I am well aware that certain employees of my own government are unable to locate their own buttocks with two full-time assistants and a 350-page illustrated instruction manual, I very much prefer that the determination of whether something I find on the network is worth seeing be left to me, and me alone. Arguing for censorship is arguing that you are an idiot that needs to be protected from your own poor judgement. If you truly find yourself unable to use the Internet responsibly, please just disconnect yourself from it rather than advocating for its destruction.
