Internet users in Turkey are protesting against web censorship laws in their country by staging a ‘virtual protest walk’ on Google maps in Istanbul Taksim Square. They are aiming to walk to the parliament house in Akara, pixel by pixel. Using Google docs ‘anyone can edit’ function, protesters are able to edit the document and put her or himself on the map in support of the cause.
