Yeah, it sounds kinda funny.

Turkey used to block Twitter and YouTube, just because of a tweet or a video. But because it causes such a problem for the government, they passed a bill allowing just to block some URLs. Not the whole website. So now, many of the news websites have specific pages that are blocked.

I believe he refers to this.

Thanks. So it is OK if it's specific.

I guess that's not so unusual, really.

Not that it doesn't suck.
