Turkey’s internet regulator blocked access to Instagram after a senior aide to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized the social media platform for “censorship” of posts related to Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh’s death.
The Information and Communication Technologies Authority didn’t give a reason for the move. Instagram and its parent Meta Platforms Inc. didn’t respond to requests for comment.
