The company has reportedly not responded to more than 1,000 notifications issued by T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Saturday, Ankara said it had restored access to another popular social media platform, Instagram, following a nine-day ban imposed earlier this month over cases of alleged censorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">T\u00fcrkiye has also temporarily blocked several other platforms and websites in the past. In 2014, the country\u2019s authorities banned Twitter and YouTube for two weeks and two months, respectively. Wikipedia was declared off limits in 2017 until the ban was lifted in 2020 pursuant to a ruling by T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s Constitutional Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an article on Sunday, Takvim claimed that the BTK had repeatedly reached out to Telegram, demanding that it shut down a number of channels on which drugs and pornographic content, including videos involving children, were being sold. Officials in Ankara have also reportedly taken issue with channels that supposedly facilitate illegal gambling and prostitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The newspaper reported that the messaging app had so far refused to disclose the identities of the subscribers and administrators of such channels with the Turkish authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the Daily Sabah, there are around eight million Telegram users in T\u00fcrkiye, making it one of the messaging app\u2019s biggest markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early August, the BTK restricted access to Instagram after Fahrettin Altun, the country\u2019s communications chief, criticized the Meta-owned network for supposedly preventing&nbsp;<em>\u201cpeople from posting condolences\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;following the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in a suspected Israeli strike in Tehran late last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Altun claimed at the time that&nbsp;<em>\u201cthis is a very clear and obvious attempt at censorship,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;vowing to take a stand against social media platforms that&nbsp;<em>\u201cserve the global system of exploitation and injustice.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Saturday, however, Turkish authorities lifted the ban, with Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu saying in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that Instagram had&nbsp;<em>\u201cpromised to work together to meet our demands regarding catalog crimes and on censorship imposed on users.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T\u00fcrkiye may block Telegram over the messaging app\u2019s alleged failure to address the sale of child porn and drugs, Takvim newspaper claims Read Full Article at RT.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[570,572,569,568,23,571],"class_list":["post-1105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news","tag-instagram","tag-post-on-x","tag-social-media-platform","tag-telegram","tag-twitter","tag-youtube"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
