⚠️ Confirmed: Live metrics show online platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp have been restricted in #Turkey on multiple networks; the incident comes as main opposition party CHP calls for rallies after police blockade its Istanbul headquarters
Ironic that the only way to get a government to put the screws to billionaires and their shit platforms is to threaten the hegemony of the party that used the very same platforms to ratfuck their way to the top.
If only it was for the right reasons
It’s for the Right reasons.
Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
What a good opportunity for some mindfulness for the Turks. Maybe.
Honestly those platforms need to burn and be destroyed. Nothing of value to be found outside the few people that actually give a fuck making YouTube videos.

Copiers and messengers are going to be useful again.

Weird move
It’s either:
- Someone bollox’d up and pressed the “block” button.
- They wanted to show it off to people as a “fuck you, obey us”.
- They were just testing it.
Either one is worrying.
It’s neither. They keep blocking (and unblocking) services tactically to prevent people organising protests.
Thats awesome
