Facebook risks losing members in Turkey, its third biggest market in the world. Recent talks by Turkish officials are on the rise about whether to ban the site after some offensive content was posted claiming one of Turkey's opposition party leaders was "a PKK member." I don't know exactly what it means to be named a member of this group, but obviously the leader of the Turkish political party was offended and wanted the content removed. The issue remains on how to handle the problem as debates among Turkish leaders continue on whether to ban the site, or just remove the offensive content. However, some government leaders have already allowed the site to be banned. With YouTube already banned in Turkey, will the popular social networking site be prohibited in a country representing its third biggest market?
