It seems the courts in Turkey are beginning to ease their blanket censorship of all blogs hosted by WordPress.com. Turkish bloggers should now petition the courts to have their blogs uncensored.

The Turkish government decided to ban WordPress.com, and with it all of the blogs hosted under that domain – affecting over a million bloggers. Until (which may be a long time) the court order is lifted users can hack the block, or try some recommended proxies.
