The TurkeyBlocks monitoring network has detected restrictions on access to multiple social media services Facebook, Twitter and YouTube throughout Turkey beginning Friday Nov 04 2016 1:20AM local time, ongoing as of Friday noon.
Restrictions on messaging services WhatsApp, Skype and Instagram have also now been detected, validating widespread user complaints about WhatsApp service failure in Turkey – the first time nationwide restrictions have been detected on the popular messaging apps in recent years.
The incident is believed to be related to the detention of multiple leaders of opposition political party HDP, accompanied by raids of the HDP headquarters in Ankara.
Such a sad turn of events for such a wonderful country.

Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, anonymous comment posting has temporarily been disabled. You can still login to post. However, if bad posting continues from your IP or Subnet that privilege could be revoked as well. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner or login and improve your posting. If it's someone else, this is a chance to hunt them down. If you think this is unfair, please remember CENSORSHIP is FUCKING AWESOME when SOYLENT NEWS DOES IT.

JFYI, I modded you Flamebait, since you and I both know that "access to information" does not mean "allowing you to post crap", so you're just being an idiot here (and possibly so am I, by responding to one).

"You can still [log in] to post," it says. Just make an account, or post under (the) one you already have, it means.
