Turkey Twitter Accounts Appear Blocked After Erdogan Court Action (Reuters) Two anonymous Twitter accounts used to release secretly recorded conversations implicating family and associates of Turkey's prime minister and senior government officials in a corruption scandal appeared on Sunday to have been blocked. Twitter last week agreed to comply with a Turkish government request to close some accounts that officials said had breached national security or privacy regulations. CNET The accounts, both with more than 400,000 followers, are reportedly listed as "withheld" within the country but appeared normally for overseas users. Twitter declined to discuss the specific accounts but said in a tweet on its policy feed that it withholds content only after "due process, e.g., a court order." The Next Web Those in Turkey wanting to access content from these accounts can use a VPN service to do so, although the government clamped down on Google’s DNS service earlier this month, so that commonly-chosen option will not work. The Washington Times The move comes after months of efforts by Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to crack down on social media after recordings leaked in December on the two Twitter accounts, and later on YouTube. Twitter and YouTube were blocked in the country for two weeks leading up to the nationwide municipal elections. CNBC Erdogan applied to the Constitutional Court on Friday to challenge what he said was a violation of his and his family's privacy by social media. He also complained about the failure of social media to comply with a court order for the removal of content that he said breached his rights.
