Facebook, Twitter to Appeal as Turkey Blocks Social Media

Updated on

Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. said they would appeal a Turkish court’s order to remove images of a slain prosecutor that were deemed to abet terrorism, as the government tightened its grip over Internet access.

Facebook in the meantime complied with the ruling to escape a blockage of its services in Turkey, the company said in an e-mailed statement Monday.
