So having been here, I've found only one site that was blocked, and that was a non-YouTube video site for copyright issues. But YouTube itself is not blocked, nor are most of the YouTube clones (even though most of these do seem to be dedicated solely to infringing copyright while claiming they aren't).

Other sites that I've heard were blocked, such as Richard Dawkins's site and Blogger also aren't.

Not that I'm complaining, certainly, but I'm surprised. Is there anything actually censored here? Or is that yet another one of our many misconceptions about the country?

Regards,

Anything critical of Ataturk is censored. For awhile blogspot.com was blocked but not now and the same with youtube. Sometimes gay dating sites are blocked too.
