The blocking order was issued because YouTube contained 8 videos involving defamatory statements about Ataturk contrary to article 8(1)(b) of Law No. 5651 and Law on crimes committed against Ataturk (Law No. 5816 of 1951).

YouTube removed the illegal video clip from its servers, and the initial access ban which was ordered on March 6, 2007 was lifted 3 days later.
