Twitter users are blasting the social media platform for “censoring” content in Turkey the day before its presidential election.
“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,”Global Government Affairs unit said, adding that the action falls in line with its policy. Columnist Matthew Yglesias accused Musk of silencing critics on behalf of reigning Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a controversial leader with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?”In another reply, the Twitter boss said he would share “what the government in Turkey sent us” but had yet to do so after several hours.
