At this rate, Twitter/X in Turkey will soon become a state-manufactured social space, where Erdogan’s regime has effectively silenced much of its dissent.

What remains will be a curated illusion of public discourse, stripped of criticism and opposition.

A policy of geoblocking accounts based on local court orders inevitably turns social platforms into an extension of authoritarian censorship. In countries where the courts serve the ruler, as they're in Turkey, these platforms effectively become a collaborator for censorship.

Biraz inceleyince Akın Gürlek karşımıza bazen hakim, bazen bakan yardımcısı, bazen de savcı olarak çıkıyor. Siyasi, içi boş, gaddar hükümlerin verildiği pek çok davada kilit rolde.

Bu kişiyi bağımsız yargı mensubu olarak görmek, adalet duygusundan büsbütün yoksun olmak demektir.

It’s hard to overstate just how far-reaching the consequences will be not just for Turkey, but across the Middle East, Europe, and beyond.

Things always go horribly wrong when unchecked power falls into the hands of a corrupt, autocratic, and paranoid ruler.

In a sense, he does. Elon Musk made clear long ago that X always cooperates with governments to block anything any local government deems "illegal," whatever US or international laws say. That's why we moved to Bluesky.
