Turkish authorities have blocked access to the official X account of the Workers’ Party of Turkey (TİP), a move condemned by opposition figures. The account, which boasts 582,000 followers, was targeted under a currently unspecified article, according to the Freedom of Expression Association (İFÖD), a Turkish digital rights group. This action comes amidst a broader trend of increasing restrictions on social media accounts within Turkey. The TİP’s X account, identified as @tipgenelmerkez, is now inaccessible to users in Turkey. This blockade has drawn sharp criticism from opposition lawmakers, who view it as a further erosion of freedom of expression. The incident raises concerns about the political climate in Turkey and the increasing limitations placed on online dissent. The news was initially reported by Turkish Minute.
