Twitter and Facebook are promising to challenge the decision of a Turkish court to remove the prosecutor who was killed pictures during a siege in Turkey last week.
What draconian led governments do best in the race in a general election? They prohibit social media. So we are not disappointed, what happened Monday, April 6, after the images have been shared the deadly siege in which the prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz, which invests the death of a teenager Berkin Elvan was killed. Twitter and Facebook are now looking to challenge the ban on Turkey.
The ban on Twitter and Facebook was not imposed because the image was too shocking for people to see, but as an act of censorship. Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu of Turkey accused some media of "spreading terrorist propaganda." Some have suggested a ban on Twitter and Facebook was to divert people's attention away from the weak and inefficient economy of Turkey.
pm the ban was lifted after the social media platforms were consistent with an order of the Turkish court to stop sharing the image.
the latest report of transparency Twitter reveals that Turkey has filed more requests for content to remove than any other country. this is not a big surprise!
However, a tour of interesting events taking place right now, like Twitter and Facebook are promising to challenge the decision of a Turkish court to delete the pictures of the slain attorney. what the outcome of that will be is anyone's guess. But for companies, including Twitter and Facebook to be able to function in a country, in this case Turkey, they must respect the laws of this country.
tookTwitter users "for tweeting their frustration against the increasing authoritarian Led Country. Using the hashtag #twitterisblockedinturkey over 68,000 tweets were posted on Twitter in 24 hours, venting their anger and sarcasm to Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, (which, by the way, owns a Twitter account, and more 6 million followers).
supporters of the decision of the Justice and Development Party, the AKP, responded. A Taha told the BBC that "Nobody has the right to show Turkey as a government censorship application. They just have to respect the decision of the court. Respect means respecting court users in Turkey. "
What about the right to freedom of expression of a Twitter user? No, it does not matter.
This is not the first time and, unfortunately, I'm sure it will not be the last time we'll see a Turkish ban on social media.
the former Miss last month Turkey Merve Buyuksarac published a poem on Instagram, which insulted President Erdogan. she is currently awaiting whether an Istanbul court will start proceedings against her.
in March 2014, Turkey blocked Twitter to ignore a court order Turkish removing some links on their website. during this ban on Twitter, Hide My Ass! were proud to support Turkish citizens in their quest for freedom online, extending our VPN services to our Turkish customers.
Do you think this is the last block on social media before the elections in June? Do you think Twitter and Facebook should respect the position of Turkey on censorship or do you think they are right to challenge?
