Following a thorough review, we have determined that the content in question violates local laws in Turkey, as outlined in the legal request. In compliance with these legal provisions, we have restricted access to your account for users.
They’re based in the United States.
Yes but they need to obey Turkish law if they want to offer their services there. Like how US websites have to show a “cookies” disclaimer within the EU due to EU privacy laws.
they could also choose to fight it exactly like Twitter under Dorsey did and as Wikipedia did (and won). Instead they’re instantly just obeying and even setting up to obey multiple other countries like Russia too.
