People cannot access Twitter through two of the three major ISPs – TurkTelekom and Turkcell.
Turkey has restricted access to Twitter after publicly criticizing the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over the slow official response to earthquakes that have killed thousands. It is reported NetBlocks and BalkanInsight.
“Real-time network data shows that Twitter is restricted in Turkey; filtering is being applied to major ISPs as the public begins to rely on the service following a series of deadly earthquakes,” said Internet Observatory, which monitors global web freedoms. netblocks.
Now people can’t access Twitter through two of the three major ISPs. TurkTelekom and Turkcell have completely blocked access. Vodafone still allows slower access to Twitter.

BalkanInsight added that the government has not announced or commented on the ban on Twitter. Moreover, the government has previously restricted access to social networks after natural disasters, terrorist attacks and protests.
It will be remembered that on the morning of February 6, Turkey and Syria were hit by strong earthquakes. It has been known about 9057 dead and more than 52 thousand injured. In addition, more than six thousand buildings were destroyed.
