Shutting Twitter down in Turkey until the elections are done would have been an acceptable alternative.

- msrenee 3y agoCensoring opposition is distinctly not free speech. It would be better to shut down the platform for the period than remove certain voices. When only one side is allowed to speak, it gives the impression that they are a larger proportion of the population than they really are. There's a difference between removing voices calling for violence and removing voices whose opinions go against the ruling party.
