Nothing to see here. Just free speech Elon doing his thing.

Twitter Blocks Content In Turkey One Day Before National Election

Twitter announced late Friday that it’s blocking some content in Turkey ahead of Sunday’s presidential election in the country. The social media company did not explain which tweets would be blocked, nor who made the request, but current president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has previously blocked Twitter across all of Turkey.

“In response to legal process and to ensure Twitter remains available to the people of Turkey, we have taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey today,” Twitter’s Global Government Affairs account announced on Friday.

“We have informed the account holders of this action in line with our policy. This content will remain available in the rest of the world,” the account continued.

Turkish state media is lying and saying Erdogan is leading when it’s actually Kemal that’s leading. I don’t think most Turks approve of Erdogan but they’re scared to talk against him for fear of prison.
