Turkey has a reputation as a country that does not hesitate to block Western Internet resources, if they are covered by "bad" information that threatens the national security of the country or can damage the mental health of citizens (the authorities care about the health of its citizens).
At this time, the Turkish ISPs blocked access to some of the biggest social media, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The formal reason for the ban: American companies refused (or rather, did not have time in time) to submit the request of the authorities and the public prosecutor to remove photos taken hostage by militants in Istanbul.
Most major ISPs Turkey April 6, 2015 blocked access to these resources, but soon блокировку Facebook and Twitter have removed . Now access is difficult only to the site YouTube.
Turkish journalists edition of Hürriyet видели the court's decision, according to which providers are obliged to block access to 166 web sites published photos prohibited. In addition to well-known foreign social networking, the list contains even a specific URL to the Turkish media sites.
Facebook and Twitter quickly removed the controversial content, so access to them is unblocked.
In accordance with the effect of Barbra Streisand from anyone who knew anything about the Turkish public prosecutor, now surely have the desire to see these photos that such efforts are trying to hide.

Prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz was captured on March 31 in the courtroom militants Marxist group "Revolutionary People's Liberation Party." Radicals demanded that the authorities have acknowledged guilt in the murder of 14-year-old boy named Berkin Elvan, which in June 2013 went to the store for bread when the street protests were held. The boy hit in the head with a tear gas grenade. He spent nine months in a coma and then died.
Captured by the prosecutor investigated the case just Elvan. President Erdogan said that the boy was a member of a terrorist organization, and in his pocket was a sling. This statement provoked mass protests.
Naturally, the authorities have not made concessions, and stormed the sixth floor of the prosecutor's office. Security officials were able to liberate the prosecutor, but he died of his injuries.
Google representatives have already stated that "work on the resumption of service users." Apparently, they still obey the decision of the Turkish court and try to remove material from YouTube.

Apparently, the mass censorship - a feature of national culture. For example, Turkey is far ahead in the number of requests to delete messages from Twitter (information from the official report Twitter Transparency Report).
Second place in the world, as we see, is Russia.
