- jruohonen 4y agoI agree: when these kind of blocks are enacted, there should always be transparency. (I have no opinion regarding whether these blocks should be allowed in the first place.) From news, I've understood that the election campaigning is getting pretty nasty there (allegations of deepfakes and whatnot), so maybe they have a legitimate reason for the block. https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/05/12/ai-content-deepfakes-meddling-in-turkey-elections-experts-warn-its-just-the-beginning https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/05/12/ai-content-deepfake...
- accursed_dims 4y agoIt is worth noting that the country has had two occasions of Twitter being shut down [1], the most recent being after the earthquake [2]. In both cases, these restrictions were initiated by the government ruled by Erdogan. The fact that the tweet mentions a legal action tells me it is also coming from the same people.
