Twitter and Youtube occasionally blocked in Turkey for years. They have found their solution in region-locking the contents after court orders. This may not be feasible to small hosting companies though. For youtube and twitter, implementing that control system was the only option to access the Turkey's market.


How does "region locking" work with Twitter content? Don't have you to control the content to lock it to a certain region via GeoIP or similar?
