Don't make any 'gobble, gobble' comments either
YouTube has been banned from Turkish residents in Turkey as of last week. In an article by Forbes.com it is stated that a court decision was made to ban the site because it contained insulting content about Mustafa Kernal Ataturk, the founder of modern-day Turkey. Thousands of people wrote to YouTube to have them take the content off their site. Turkey has been criticized for not supporting freedom of expression though they are accepting of both white and dark meat eaters.
Magnolia to Stop Access of YouTube Booty
Magnolia Pictures has subpoenaed Google for having pirated versions of one of their movies offered on YouTube. Google watch has the story by Steve Bryant on how Magnolia is salty that their film, "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" is offered on YouTube. Fox has slapped YouTube with a subpoena earlier because episodes of the Simpsons and 24 were featured in their entirety mainly due to Bart Simpson still being of underage after close to twenty years of being in his adolescent period.
More Google Faux Pas
In an article by Reuters, it is stated that Google was told to delete a reference of 'Mt. Hitler' on Google Earth. Apparently, this peak near Munich was briefly given that name during the reign of the Third Reich but name was changed once again after WWII. The mayor of the town would not like that name affiliated with his city or any of its entities.
