Turkey has mounted a fresh social media crackdown, according to an Internet monitoring group, after it reportedly blocked access to WhatsApp -- extending existing blocks against Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Turkey Blocks said the websites had been disabled using a process known as throttling, which slows access to affected sites, part of a pattern of activity in recent hours.
