Turkey’s telecoms authority has shut down YouTube.<br /><br /> Regulators say an anonymous account posted what it presented as a leaked recording of a discussion between the country’s intelligence chief and military leaders about possible operations in Syria.<br /><br /> It comes a week after Turkey tried to block access to microblogging site Twitter.<br /><br /> “I have been a Facebook and a Youtubeuser for years and all of a sudden, this ban comes as a shock. I am <br />uneasy over these developments and my biggest <br />concern is what will happen if this government wins the elections?” said internet user Robin Cetin.<br /><br /> “I wonder how far will they go to curb our freedom. <br />First Twitter, now Youtube. What is next? Facebook? How far will they go and when will this end?” said Istanbul resident Demet Toprak.<br /><br /> The government has indicated that it may block access to other social media platforms as well if users publish recordings or documents which threaten national security.
