Turkey Lifts Ban on Access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube
This article is for subscribers only.
Turkey unblocked access to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube after social media websites followed an Istanbul court’s order to remove images of a slain prosecutor that were deemed to abet terrorism.
Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. said they would appeal the court ruling even though they complied with it. The court’s decision requires Google to follow suit or face suspension of its services in Turkey, state-run Anadolu news agency reported late Monday. The search engine could still be accessed early Tuesday local time.
