Social media sites Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube and messaging service\u00a0Whatsapp are currently being blocked across Turkey according to an incident report by Turkish Internet watchdog organization Turkey Blocks. Originally, Turkey was only blocking the original trifecta of social media sites: Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/x.com\/TurkeyBlocks\/status\/794313477628239872<\/p>\n

However, Turkey Blocks has since confirmed that WhatsApp is also currently being blocked. This is the first time that Turkey\u2019s government has blocked WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

Social media services blocked in Turkey amid ongoing political unrest<\/h2>\n

The social media block lines up with an operation currently ongoing by the Turkish government to arrest pro-Kurdish political party members from the HDP headquarters in Ankara. Arrested members thus far include the co-leaders of the HDP, Selahattin Demirtas and Figen Yuksekdag. The incident report<\/a>\u00a0reveals that the blocks started around 1:20 AM local time Friday morning. As with the\u00a0previous shutdowns<\/a> of social media services (it\u2019s happened several times this year), the block is being enforced by the increasingly restrictive country\u2019s\u00a0few Internet service providers (ISPs). The throttling and bans start at the largest ISP, TTnet, which covers more urban areas, and hasn\u2019t reached some smaller ISPs such as Uydunet, yet. Those that are able to access social media have been keeping the world updated on the unfolding events. There is even\u00a0Periscope\u00a0footage from the arrests at HDP headquarters in Ankara. This shutdown of certain parts of the Internet is technically legal in Turkey. President Erdogan is using a law that allows the President to use the Internet\u2019s kill switch however he or she wants during an \u201cemergency situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amid the ongoing \u201cemergency situation,\u201d there are reports<\/a> that the Turkish army is moving towards the Iraqi border and also that additional warrants will be served on all HDP parliament members. The night is still ongoing and it is possible that Turkish ISPs will attempt to block or throttle traffic to other social media services, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
