Turkish officials have initiated legal measures to restrict access to various X accounts, including those belonging to prominent journalists İrfan Değirmenci and Şirin Payzın. The censorship monitor EngelliWeb reported that the news portal soL Haber, the Women’s Coalition, and the Federation of Women’s Associations of Turkey are also subject to these new blocking orders. This development follows a broader series of government actions and police operations previously directed at LGBT activists and organizations. Although the specific legal justifications and the authorities responsible for these latest mandates remain undisclosed, the accounts were still accessible to users within Turkey as of Wednesday afternoon. These restrictions represent a significant escalation in the ongoing efforts to regulate digital content and limit the online presence of specific media figures and advocacy groups across the country.
