Why is Turkey protesting/rioting?
Ive been seeing a lot about Turkey being on fire and police and protestors fighting, but I cannot see to find out why.

Anyone willing to let me know or send me a link of why they are protesting/rioting and why twitter was banned, and why they are wanting to ban Youtube?

The people just realized that they allowed their PM to become a dictator and that he and his closest associates are corrupt. They want to ban U-Tube and Twitter because they don't control the content and the truth has been getting out.

Some countries' leaders block certain things from their citizens. They do not give them the freedom to inform themselves on any matter they choose. They do not like their citizens speaking their minds, if it makes them (the leaders) look bad, even if the citizens are speaking the truth. This happens in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey etc...even China does this sometimes. Their leaders are dictators, who choose what they think their people need to know, or not. This is an attempt to keep citizens dumbed down. They are easier to control this way.
Turkey says they have their reasons, but who could trust anyone who feels they should be able to make decisions for you? Turkey has also shut down YouTube, this is why the people are protesting.

''The crackdown comes just days before Turks are expected to go to the polls in nationwide municipal elections.''

PS. If Obama has his way, the whole internet will be controlled by people like the leaders of Turkey, China, Russia etc.
''After the news broke, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich tweeted, “What is the global internet community that Obama wants to turn the internet over to? This risks foreign dictatorships defining the internet.”

''Some U.S. officials have warned about the dangers of ceding ICANN’s authority to the International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations agency, fearing countries like Russia and China could use it to allow online censorship. Congress unanimously passed a resolution ahead of a 2012 ITU meeting, highlighting the U.S. commitment to keeping the Internet free from government control.''
