Also, because of some fundementalist bullshit cult leader who is in bed with the also fundementalist mofo government, websites on evolution theory and any Turkish or foreign website that talks against his fucking sham is unaccessible from Turkey.

It prevents public disclosure of various crime more than it prevents anything else. The worst is self-censorship. And the worst in it is that public never knows what was censored. I decided to make one such case known to public. See http://ca.geocities.com/uoftfraud/nature.html Honest reporters risk their lives to bring the truth to the world. Where does censorship stand in the world? Censorship is a cowardly fraud. It prevents public disclosure of various crime more than it prevents anything else. The worst is self-censorship.
