Turkey has censored more than 100 tweets in the past week
May 8, 2014
More than a month after Turkey lifted its Twitter block, the country's government is still keeping a close eye on any potentially embarrassing tweets.
In a single week, Turkish courts have filed five separate takedown motions to Twitter Headquarters, requesting the removal of over a hundred tweets.
Most of the tweets are still available to US users, but it seems likely that Twitter has blocked them for users registered within Turkey, in accordance with its policy of compliance with local laws and court orders.
