Quite recently I came to know Turkey (officially as the Republic of Turkey) banned the popular video sharing website Vimeo.
Vimeo is a respectful community of creative people who are passionate about sharing the videos they make. Vimeo is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos.
It was founded by Zach Klein and Jakob Lodwick in November 2004.
It’s not a big news since Turkey banned YouTube several times since March 2007, even though the country’s President Abdullah Gül expressed his disapproval of the country’s blocking of YouTube. The screenshot shown below proves the title is right.
But some people from Turkey say it might be due to copyright infringement or violating policy. It is just banned as a precaution for now.

Hello,
– Vimeo banned today because it was hosting a hidden sex video of a Turkish politician. (Video is already removed from vimeo.com)
– Metacafe banned in May because there was a hidden sex video of another Turkish politician.
– Youtube banned because there were some videos insulting Turkishness and founder of Turkish Republic.
There are more then 7365 websites banned in Turkey.
You can visit engelliweb.com to see all of them…

@ Engelli Web , are you designated by the Turkish Government to address this issue on all blogs
Cagin Donmez
I dont support the ban at all but, the decision of the ban is because they couldnt get the content removed from the sites.And at last they go with banning the whole website.

its a nonsense from the govt which rules , why an international site be banned with no proafanity . if there is an objectionable content , just flag it for removal …..
Praveen
Good share pradeep 🙂
Cagin Donmez
yes Youtube is still banned. And Vimeo too has been banned recently. Its sad truley…
But the biggest reason of these activities are the videos who try to humiliate our great leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
S.Pradeep Kumar
Oh, I thought it was for different reason. Thanks Cagin. 🙂
Saket
But why should the turkey govt then ban the whole site. Instead they should order youtube/vimeo to remove those particular videos?
S.Pradeep Kumar
Saket, I agree with you. I think there would have been some issues like ‘misunderstanding’ between Vimeo and Turkey.
Remember Google and China issue? I hope the same here. 🙂
Saket
Yup but the issue between Google and China was something more controversial. Hope Turnkey removes the ban soon
vikash
Vimeo removed that video i guess they shld restore it
Technical Tips
I believe YT is still banned in Turkey. Isn’t?
S.Pradeep Kumar
Yes, it is! 🙂
