Access to EngelWeb's X account has been blocked

A new one has been added to the access ban decisions applied to social media platforms and websites in Türkiye.

Access to the X (Twitter) account of the "EngelliWeb" project of the Freedom of Expression Association (@ifadeorgtr), which monitors and documents blocks on the internet, has been blocked.

It was stated that the account in question has not yet been made invisible from Türkiye by the X platform.

Restriction decisions on the internet are not limited to news and tracking platforms.

T24 website and social media accounts were among the institutions affected by the access ban decisions.

Action was taken within the scope of the "My Family is Safe" investigation carried out by the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and targeting LGBTI+ people. Türkiye had blocked access to T24, which claimed that 118 contents published in the last year were "LGBT propaganda".
