Access to Instagram continues to be blocked. Instagram, which was closed with the decision taken by Turkey, has been inaccessible for more than 50 hours, while millions of users Is Instagram open? When will Instagram open? It is being sought to answer questions. While Instagram, which is normally expected to be reopened after 48 hours due to the lack of an official court decision, continues to be closed, it has been learned that critical negotiations are also continuing.
WHY DID INSTAGRAM CLOSE?
According to the news in Sabah, the reason for the closure of Instagram in Turkey was that Instagram, which has been officially warned hundreds of times due to various content, acted against Turkey’s stance on Palestine and blocked the posts of Hamas leader Haniye.
The platform, which removes or blocks some posts made by Turkish citizens within the framework of its publication principles, was blocked by BTK.
Türkiye HAS FORWARDED ITS DEMANDS
While Turkey is displaying a constructive attitude to overcome the problem, a meeting was held with META representatives in Turkey the day before and demands were conveyed to Instagram.
During the meeting, Instagram officials were asked about the reason for their stance on removing content that offered condolences to Hamas leader Haniyeh, and the officials responded, “Since Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by the US, the algorithms automatically remove such posts.”
HÜSEYİN YAYMAN: “WE NEVER ACCEPT IT”
TBMM Digital Platforms Commission President Hüseyin Yayman said, “We never accept the practices of Meta, which are carried out by international digital companies that disregard the laws, management structures, moral and ethical values of countries. We expect Instagram to abandon its double-standard attitude as soon as possible.”
