A Turkish one court ordered her government of the country to lift the block on Twitter that last week when tweets appeared that linked the Turkish prime minister with a scandal of corruption, he says AFP. Twitter access is reportedly expected to be restored today.
The social network has been banned since March 20, although many have found ways to circumvent the ban. The Associated Press reports that the court has issued a temporary injunction against the ban, so it is unclear whether access to the social network remains unchanged or restored. The encouraging fact, however, is that the country's judiciary remains "colorless" as it should be, unless the event is completely coincidental.
Turkey's government took the decision to ban as protests grew from the social network discussing a corruption scandal involving the government, just days before elections. The block in the social network brought only negatives comments and criticisms and condemned by the United States, and the United Nations Human Rights office, among others.
"The General Assembly recently confirmed that the rights that people have offline should be protected when they are online as well,” Human Rights Office spokesman Rupert Colville said at a press conference.
So in anticipation of the developments with Turkey that 2014 tried to silence an entire people. At least it was clear: “I ban Twitter.” And we mention this, because there is also censorship that happens but no one admits that it happens. Let's not give examples.
