Turkey is about to ban Minecraft

[ChipWoodChainSaw]

This is an extremely stupid comment.  Without people being able to report bad things or controversial things going on nobody can take a stand for or against these things.  The news is an important thing in this world. 

not really, i could live with not know almost all the crap the news has to tell the world

[sylarspock]

are other violent games totally banned in Turkey as well ?

 

this is ridiculous targeting mine-craft when there are more violent games out there.

Damn, old people shouldn't mess with heavy machinery like the Internet or videogames,

it looks like those are pretty advanced stuff for them .

Restricting a game, fine sure they could do that, but a ban? lol.

There should be a law that you can't ban anything without trying it first.

This should stop people from banning things for no good reason like the FAA trying to ban fpv (I wonder how many jobs will be lost if they acctualy make that into a law)

Oh wait there should be some exceptions to this rule we don't want all politicians to jump off a cliff just to see if they should make it illegal

But maybie this is actually a good thing

[GeneralTheoryOfBadassery]

I really think that they should worry more about their debt rather than Minecraft ... ..

And yeah... Previously they had also said that they would investigate about violence against women .....

If that reason had made it this time ... I wouldn't want to live in this world anymore

Next they're going to ban it in Africa because it's racist. (hey, it's always the black one that steals your blocks, right?)

Ban other violent games IMO.

[shujin]

If there going to do it just by blocking minecraft.net then it would be easy to get around, change your IP, a simple proxy server, there are many ways to get around blocked domains.

first: not everyone know about this

second: it will still make children not able to play the game (and it'll give a big argument for parent for saying video game should be banned in their home)

lol if i was Turkish, breaking the law will be my first move.

I broke the swiss laws already a couple of times, who cares for the government...
