Turkey Blocks Access to Instagram Earlier Today Over Removal of Condolences Posts on Hamas Leader
Aug 2, 2024, 05:20 AM
Turkey has blocked access to Instagram earlier today, according to the country's communications authority. The move follows criticism from a senior aide to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regarding Instagram's removal of posts about Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh after his assassination. The content was reportedly removed under the label of 'dangerous individuals and organizations.' The Turkish communications official Fahrettin Altun criticized Instagram for 'censorship' of posts related to Haniyeh's death, including condolences messages. No official reason or duration for the ban has been provided by the authorities.
