The Turkish government has banned the video website YouTube just a week after banning the social media site Twitter. It came hours after an audio file, allegedly of a security meeting exploring military action against Syria, was leaked.
The Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan described the leaking of the recording as "villainous".
Some users have already reported not being able to access the video-sharing site.
The telecoms watchdog in Turkey said last week it had blocked Twitter in the country after complaints the website was 'breaching privacy'.
Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan had threatened to 'wipe it out' just hours earlier. He made the comments after users started tweeting about alleged corruption among his inner circle - a charge he denies.
The EU Commissioner for Enlargement Stefan Füle has criticised this latest move, saying "freedom of sharing information needs to be respected, any limitation needs to be proportionate".
1. @twitter , @YouTube - where does this end #Turkey?
