⚠️ 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
Maybe where you live. Massively popular platforms like these are pretty good at gathering people for rallies/protests and spreading investigations, news and fundraisers.
Best case scenario is people switch to decentralized media, worst case - the momentum for their rallies is ruined and ppl get arrested for saying the wrong things online. Then (most likely) these platforms get unblocked and everyone forgets about it.
Yeah, almost like entire countries communication networks shouldn’t be on corporate owned platforms in the first place.
