Good Luck.
A court Turkey has said the country's Twitter ban prevents free speech. It said that blocking Twitter takes people's right to express themselves freely. The Turkish government blocked Twitter March the 21st. The Prime Minister, Tayyip Erdogan, was angry because someone posted audio files his close advisors just days the country's elections. The files revealed details possible corruption Turkey that could be embarrassing the government. Mr Erdogan is a big critic social networks. As well as blocking Twitter, he also ordered the blocking YouTube a while. He said an election campaign speech: "We will wipe Twitter. I don't care what the international community says."

The Twitter ban did not work as Mr Erdogan wanted it to. Turks found many ways to get Twitter using the normal channels. Internet companies say there was a surge in tweets the ban but usage is to half of what it was before. Many Turks are furious with the government banning Twitter. They are determined to make sure they can access the micro-blogging site. The court agreed the people. It said: "Everyone has the right to express and [share] his/her thoughts and opinions speech, in writing, in pictures or through other media." Twitter was happy the court's announcement. Its global public policy team tweeted: "We hope to have Twitter access restored Turkey soon."
