Support NeoGAF

Turkey's Internet watchdog has blocked access to the WikiLeaks website in Turkey, it said, after the whistleblower organization released nearly 300,000 emails from the ruling AK Party.

The Telecommunications Communications Board said on Wednesday that an "administrative measure" had been taken against the website - the term it commonly uses when blocking access to sites.

Wish people would stop saying this now, it is way overused to the point it is just annoying and distracting.

And no I am not surprised, I fully expected it. I am just waiting for people to comb through it.

I'm glad I visited Turkey in 2000.
I wouldn't step foot there and support a dictator today.

NATO needs to put pressure on his ass to step down.

Such a useless action. 99% of the emails are gibberish, the really juicy ones will get shared over twitter and whatnot anyway.

Edit: btw been following what has come out of this and it seems a bit of a dud. Some bribes here and there, some weird love stories and alot of penis enlarge spam mails. Oh well it's still early, lets see what they can dig up.

Man AKP is digging a huge grave for Turkey.
Everything their doing since the alleged coup doesn't make sense.

Did they just get these emails? If they were sitting on them there is little point releasing them after a failed coup which only consolidated Erdogan's power.

Yeah and enough with the "but Erdogan was democratically elected" BS. Opposing a coup does not mean you condone Erdogan's actions once that coup failed.
