Turkey's Minister of Transport, Maritime and Communication, Lüfti Elvan says Turkey may establish a national 'ttt' protocol instead of the regularly used 'www'.
Hurriyet Daily News has a report where it is pointed out that Elvan has defended the action saying that several EU countries have toyed with the idea of establishing "their own national Internet protocols."
He went on to explain how,
"Instead of www, a ttt system can be formed. Turkey and other countries can establish their own domains. Such a move would detach the Internet systems from each other. This is a controversial issue."
Elvan has also said there should be what he calls an "international convention" in order to curb what he sees as "the lack of control over social media."
