[governance] [BBC] Turkey moves to block YouTube access after 'audio leak'

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

Social media is key to make IGF interactive.  If it gets banned and treated with contempt, there is absolutely no way to distinguish the conference from say a traditional closed door ITU meeting in Geneva.  I agree, IGF should not be held in Turkey, at least till the current regime changes its policies and/or is removed from power.
