Word is out on the street that commissioner Fule is now 'gravely concerned' that there are no more Turkish twitters.

And to just think that TCs in the north want these criminal politicians in Turkey who want to control everything from freedom of speech to day to day life as their trusted "motherland". :shock:

No wonder the north is morally corrupt. They get their inspirations from Turkey. Mind boggles. :(

Condemnation of the highest order for the Twitter banning in Turkey from Reporters without Borders under the headline...

BLOCKING OF TWITTER – “WORTHY OF THE MOST REPRESSIVE REGIMES”

"... Reporters Without Borders condemns Turkey’s blocking of Twitter, which began at around midnight last night, just nine days ahead of regional elections and after several weeks in which Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s standing has been damaged by the leaking of a series of embarrassing audio recordings online.

The alleged recordings of Erdogan’s conversations, many of which have been posted on Twitter, point to involvement in alleged corruption as well as his personal meddling in the editorial policies of leading media such as HaberTürk, Milliyet, NTV and Star.

“This extreme and absurd act of censorship, fraught with consequences for the flow of information and democratic debate, is worthy of the world’s most repressive regimes,” said Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Christophe Deloire. ..."
