    Turkey's nationwide blocking of Google Sites

    Turkey blocked all pages hosted on Google Sites after allegations that one hosted page insulted Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The measure became a human-rights issue because it affected the entire platform rather than being limited to the disputed page. In 2012, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the blocking violated Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

  2. Abuse concerns involving deceptive hosted pages

    Google Sites has been criticized as a potential vehicle for scams and imitation websites because users can publish pages under Google-hosted web addresses. The concern relates to possible misuse of the platform's recognizable domain context, rather than to a single identified incident in the available source material.
