Turkey Hints At Censorship Of Twitter

The move could presage censorship of the microblogging service it has accused of helping stir weeks of anti-administration protests. The government hinted that it might even ban communications using the service if it did not comply — as happened when it blocked Google's YouTube video site for two years until the search giant opened an office there last October.
