CHP Chairman Özgür Özel strongly reacted to the Radio and Television Supreme Council's (RTÜK) sanctions against opposition television channels and the Information Technologies and Communications Authority's (BTK) attempt to block access to hundreds of accounts on the social media platform X.

ÖZEL: THEY ARE TRYING TO SUPPRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

In a statement made on his social media account, Özel said, "As if it wasn't enough that they issued a memorandum from RTÜK against the opposition television channels that echoed the voices of the squares yesterday, today they are trying to suppress social media by requesting access restrictions to hundreds of accounts on the X platform through BTK."

TWITTER CONFIRMS ÖZEL'S STATEMENT

A statement confirming Özel's claim came from the X platform. The social media platform X (Twitter) made a statement regarding the blocking of some accounts that reacted to the arrest of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu. In the statement from X, it was said, "We are appealing against numerous court decisions regarding the blocking of more than 700 accounts belonging to news organizations, journalists, political figures, students, and other individuals in Turkey."

"WE ARE APPEALING AGAINST NUMEROUS COURT DECISIONS"

In a statement made by the Global Government Affairs account of X regarding the issue, the following expressions were used: "We are appealing against numerous court decisions regarding the blocking of more than 700 accounts belonging to news organizations, journalists, political figures, students, and other individuals in Turkey.

Providing a platform that is committed to defending everyone's right to freedom of expression is of utmost importance to X, and we believe that the Turkish government's decision not only violates the law but also prevents millions of Turkish users from accessing news and political discourse in their country. We eagerly await the opportunity to defend these principles through the legal system. X will always advocate for freedom of expression wherever we operate."
