According to Dicle Müftüoğlu, behind this censorship lie the killing of journalists Nazım Daştan and Cihan Bilgin in a drone strike in northern Syria during the ‘new peace process’, as well as attacks targeting the Tishrin Dam. Müftüoğlu stated that they do not know whether the restriction is based on a court order, and added that the information provided by X on the matter is limited. She also said, “Many things changed on the platform after Elon Musk acquired Twitter. In addition, Turkey introduced a regulation in October 2020 requiring social media platforms to appoint a representative in the country. If Turkey’s demands are not met, it can reduce the bandwidth.”
