In a recent move, Turkey's communications authority has decided to block access to the popular social media platform Instagram. The decision was announced by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority, which did not provide a specific reason for the action.
Reports suggest that the blockage came in response to Instagram removing posts by Turkish users expressing condolences for the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh. This move was met with swift sanctions from the Turkish authorities, resulting in the blocking of access to Instagram across the country.
