Turkish authorities have blocked access to posts on X (formerly Twitter) featuring clips from comedian Deniz Göktaş’s popular show, “Ölü Deniz.” The move follows accusations by a ruling party official that Göktaş insulted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during the performance. The government justified the blocks by citing concerns over national security and public order. The clips originated from a show released on YouTube on June 24th. This action raises concerns about freedom of expression and censorship within Turkey, particularly regarding political satire. Turkish media outlets reported on the blocking order, highlighting the growing tension between the government and critical voices. The incident underscores a pattern of restricting online content deemed critical of the president and the ruling party.
