A
Turkish court has ordered Facebook to block a number of pages deemed
insulting to the Prophet Mohammad, threatening to stop access to the
whole social networking site if it does not comply, local media
reported.
The
order made by the court followed a request by a prosecutor, state
broadcaster TRT reported. No one from Facebook was immediately available
for comment.
It
was the latest move to crack down on material seen as offending
religious sensibilities in the largely Muslim nation, where the
government of President Tayyip Erdogan is seen pursuing an
Islamist-leaning agenda.
Earlier
this month, prosecutors launched an inquiry into a newspaper which
reprinted parts of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in the wake
of an attack by Islamic militants on its offices in Paris.
Earlier
reports suggest that Facebook had desktop site for employees to force
development of mobile apps. Facebook had introduced a great new way to
make sure the mobile experience of the social network improves greatly –
the company has resorted to switching off its desktop website
internally for employees so that they are forced to use mobile to access
Facebook.
