Turkey criticised for blocking social media outlets by human rights experts

A group of independent United Nations human rights experts expressed deep concern  over the Turkish government’s crackdown on media sharing outlets YouTube and Twitter.The experts said in a statement that “the right to freedom of opinion and expression is a central pillar of modern democratic societies”.”Blocking access to YouTube and Twitter entirely unduly restricts this fundamental right. This is all the more surprising following the recent temporary court injunction against the blocking of Twitter,” they said.
