Great. Let&#8217;s hope it stays that way. After YouTube got unbanned, it got banned again, so who knows what will happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ntvmsnbc.com\/news\/463973.asp\" target=\"_blank\">ban has been lifted<\/a> by the Turkish court that previously blocked Blogger last Friday. They have requested &#8220;missing evidence&#8221; but made it clear that the ban could be reintroduced after the legal procedure is completed by the prosecutor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Digiturk, Turkish license holder for the broadcasts of Turkish football league games, asked for blogs with links to pirated streams to be removed. Blogger did not reply and Digiturk went to court, getting millions of innocent blogs blocked. The statement that &#8220;Blogger did not reply&#8221; makes me think all Digiturk did was send out an email &#8211; and as some of us know, if you email Google services, be prepared to wait two weeks. They should have called.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The law that allows for the blocking of domain names still stands. Many popular sites are <a href=\"http:\/\/mindtrick.net\/blockedinturkey\/\" target=\"_blank\">still blocked<\/a>. Blogger can be blocked again. It&#8217;s not over, but at least Blogger&#8217;s available again. Yet still we can expect to see more of this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-748 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/bloggerbanned1-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/bloggerbanned1-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/bloggerbanned1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And the protest banner posted on Turkish (as well as international) blogs hosted at blogspot.com:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-755\" src=\"http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/10\/bannedlogo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"92\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/internationmusing.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hans<\/a> for his useful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/28\/bloggerblogspot-unblocked-in-turkey\/#comment-1037\" target=\"_self\">tip<\/a>!<br \/>\nThanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/istanbulian.blogspot.com\/2008\/10\/globalizing-turkish-bans-court-in.html\" target=\"_blank\">the Istanbulian<\/a> for further information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Help get the news out. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stumbleupon.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/28\/bloggerblogspot-unblocked-in-turkey&amp;title=Blogger+unblocked+in+Turkey\" target=\"_blank\">Stumble<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/tech_news\/Blogger_Blogspot_unblocked_in_Turkey\" target=\"_blank\">Digg<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/slashdot.org\/bookmark.pl?url=http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/28\/bloggerblogspot-unblocked-in-turkey\/\" target=\"_blank\">Slashdot<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/submit?url=http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/28\/bloggerblogspot-unblocked-in-turkey&amp;title=Blogger+unblocked+in+Turkey\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a> or Tweet it!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><script type=\"text\/javascript\">  slashdot_title=\"Blogger\/Blogspot unblocked in Turkey while court awaits further evidence\"; slashdot_url=\"http:\/\/www.basbasbas.com\/blog\/2008\/10\/28\/bloggerblogspot-unblocked-in-turkey\/\"; <\/script> <script src=\"http:\/\/slashdot.org\/slashdot-it.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stay updated.
