"Twitter has reportedly given in to some of the Turkish government's demands, and will ban some users' accounts.
A senior Turkish official proclaimed Monday night that the service will ban a number of accounts at the government's request, Reuters reported.
The two parties have had an extremely strained relationship for the past few year. Twitter was seen as a key tool in a massive Turkish protest of Geizi park in 2013; 29 protesters were arrested for their tweets alone. In March, as opposition to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan reached a fever pitch, the country blocked the service outright for several weeks, though with only moderate technical success. The ban was lifted in early April, after a Turkish court ruled that blocking Twitter violated laws protecting free speech."* Cenk Uygur, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Gina Grad (Gina Grad Show, Pretty Good Podcast) and Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) break it down.
