Turkey says it is investigating 10.000 users of the social media, but it can also be an excuse to silence her freedom of speech.
Turkey has cracked down on cyber activity at a frenzied pacenetwork since the summer of the attempted military coup. The country's Ministry of Interior has revealed that its officials are investigating approx 10.000 users of social media as suspects of support of terrorism.
In fact, they report that about 3.710 people have been questioned during the last 6 months and that 1.656 was arrested. The rest were considered innocent but 1.203 of them are still under surveillance.
There is an inevitable question: how many of the users of social networks really support terrorism? Despite the protests, the Turkish government is unlikely to block Facebook, Twitter and other Internet services whenever there is a sharp increase in dissatisfaction with President Erdogan.
The country has closed 150 news agencies at this time, and even if some users of these 10.000 conspire against the government, terrorist accusations may be just a pretext to further silence the country.
