There are problems accessing popular social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok throughout Türkiye. Users state that they cannot refresh their feed on social media platforms and that the content is loaded late.
On the evening of October 23, 2024, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter users encountered an unexpected access problem.
As of 17.30, problems such as streaming could not be refreshed on these platforms, login was not possible and slowdowns were experienced. Millions of users are asking on social media, “Why are these platforms not opening?” While we are looking for an answer to the question, official statements have not come yet.
NO STATEMENT WAS CAME FROM BTK!
While the reason for the access problems experienced on platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube is not yet clear, there is no statement from BTK.
Users encounter “session timed out” and “an unexpected error occurred” messages when logging into Facebook.
On TikTok, failure to refresh the stream and “no internet connection” warnings were frequently reported. While users’ photos are not uploaded on Instagram, it seems that some tweets are not uploaded on Twitter. There are serious access problems on all four platforms, but it is not yet clear whether this problem is a technical malfunction or an access barrier.
HAS THE INTERNET SLOWED DOWN?
There are difficulties in accessing not only social media applications but also many websites. Users report that internet speed has decreased throughout Türkiye and that they are having difficulty accessing sites. It is unclear whether this slowdown is due to an infrastructural problem or a broader technical problem.
