Turkey has blocked access to Instagram nationwide. The decision, executed by the country's communications authority BTK on Friday, has not been accompanied by an official reason. However, it is widely speculated that the move is in response to Instagram's removal of posts and stories expressing condolences for Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
