Turkey has blocked access to YouTube, just a week after the country blocked Twitter, and only three days ahead of local elections in the country.

Turkish netizens started reporting the block after 10:30 a.m. ET. The ban was ordered on Thursday after leaked recordings of a security meeting were published on YouTube, according to Hurriyet Daily News
