      <title>Turkiye blocks social media amid opposition rallies</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330433535/turkiye-blocks-social-media-amid-opposition-rallies</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Access to major online platforms, including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and WhatsApp, has been restricted across multiple networks in Turkiye.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to global internet monitor Netblocks. The restrictions coincided with calls for rallies by the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) following police barricades around their headquarters in Istanbul.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reports from Turkiye’s Freedom of Expression Association indicate that access issues began at 20:45 GMT on Sunday, with bandwidth for these platforms being deliberately throttled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Access Providers Union, which oversees the implementation of internet blocking decisions, has not yet responded to inquiries regarding the restrictions.&lt;/p&gt;
