'Advanced Islamist Democracy' Turkey blocks tweet of Egyptian Blogger. (Nervana).
Yesterday, I received a notice of withholding from the Twitter legal team via e-mail.
My understanding from the e-mail, which was written in Turkish, is that is that one of my tweets was banned in Turkey by a court ruling. Twitter gave me a 48-hour notice to appeal the verdict.
Interestingly, out of the 166 names included in the Turkish court list, I am the only non-Turkish individual. The rest are either Turkish national or main stream mews outlets.
I do not work for any outlet or organization. This begs the question, why me? Thousands have tweeted the same photo. As an independent blogger, I comments on the entire Middle East, not just Turkey. Some Turkish troll on Twitter have written intriguing abusive messages. Hmmm.....Seems being non Muslim brotherhood and more Important being a woman is enough to be on the presidential 'enemies' list. Read the full story here.
Hmmm.......And still the EU kisses the dictator his boots in the hope of cheap gas.
Turkey accounted for 90% of all Tweets blocked globally in the second half of 2014 http://t.co/KWdcF9t6bU
