The X account of the Presidential Candidate Office, where Ekrem İmamoğlu shares his posts, has been restricted.
The "Ekrem İmamoğlu Presidential Candidate Office" X account used by Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, who was suspended from his duties after being arrested, has been blocked by a court decision.
Imamoğlu, whose personal social media accounts have been blocked many times before, faces the same situation with the communication account created for the presidential elections.
BLOCKED FOR NATIONAL SECURITY REASONS
According to information reported by EngelliWeb, access to the "Ekrem İmamoğlu Presidential Candidate Office" X account, which operates under the username "CAOIletisim" and has approximately 209,000 followers, has been restricted under Article 8/A of Law No. 5651. The justification for the decision was cited as the protection of national security and public order.
On the other hand, it was reported that the X platform has not yet made the account invisible from Turkey.
