After banishing YouTube in March of 2007, Turkey is imposing a new ban on video sharing site Vimeo (an IAC company).
Youtube still is not accessible, despite the fact that Prime Minister Erdogan said “I know how to get around the ban,” and urged everyone else to do the same. He would not however, disclose which proxy servers he used to circumvent the ban.
Although the reason for Vimeo Ban is not exactly known, it may be due to copyright infringement or a video insulting a person. It is just banned as a precaution for now. If Vimeo contacts the authorities and removes the problem content, then the site can be unbanned in 1-10 days.”
Ironically, one of the finalists of first international Vimeo Awards was actually a video made by a Turkish user.
