In this instance, "</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:19px">the law is ostensibly aimed to protect children from harmful content, from the very beginning it has been used to prevent adults’ access to information" so the focus of the statement could be against the exploitation of of Security concerns of popular appeal so as to bring in unfair censorship laws that could be abused for control over citizens, in Turkey, in United States, India, China, Pakistan and Europe and elsewhere. The Civil Society statement could be emphatically against blocking Internet and against unbalanced directives to Social Media and oppression of free speech in all the free world.</span></font></div>

This is serious, and civil society groups should issue a statement
in support, preferably on the venue during the IGF days..

<div>I just <a href="http://www.indexoncensorship.org/2014/08/boycotting-internet-governance-forum/" target="_blank">ran
into this piece</a> by Yaman Akdeniz and Kerem Altiparmak.
Civil society folks who will be at the IGF this year may find
it interesting- it flags significant internet-related
concerns in Turkey.</div>
