Turkey Blocks Instagram Amid 'Censorship' Row
Turkey's Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK) has banned access to the popular social media application Instagram as of Friday morning August 02, 2024. President Tayyip Erdogan fiercely criticised social media companies on Monday, saying they sought to "muzzle the Palestinian people's voices", after Turkey blocked access to Instagram last week. Turkey was holding talks with Instagram on Monday August 05, after the move, which followed a top Turkish official's accusation that the social media site blocked condolence posts over the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
