Turkey on Friday blocked access to the Instagram social
media network, the national communications authority
said without explanation, following censorship accusations
against the US company by a high-ranking Turkish official.

The BTK communications authority said in a post on its
website that "instagram.com has been blocked by a decision
on the date of 02/08/2024", without adding further details.

Many users living in Turkey complained on the X platform
that they could not refresh their Instagram feed, an issue
verified by AFP journalists.

The Turkish presidency's communications director Fahrettin
Altun on Wednesday hit out at Meta-owned Instagram, accusing
the platform of "impeding people from publishing messages
of condolence for the martyr Haniyeh".

. . .

   Haniyeh was a Supreme TERRORIST.

   But in any case ... censor for "Woke" reasons or
   "religious" reasons or "MAGA" reasons - you LOSE.
   There will be large-scale consumer/govt reactions
   and you will LOSE LOTS OF MONEY.
