Turkey blocks social media over LGBTQ+ campaign
The Turkish authorities have blocked accounts of human rights and media organizations on X (Twitter) and Instagram following a widespread series of raids targeting places frequented by the LGBTQ+ community and the homes of activists. These actions are part of the "Family Covenant" initiative launched by President Erdogan to promote traditional family values. The blocked accounts include those of the "France Presse" newspaper, Amnesty International in Turkey, and organizations advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, with officials from these groups being detained. The Minister of Justice confirmed that these operations aim to protect families and children from harmful content, while the European Union expressed concern over the arrest of at least 60 individuals and the charging of them with offenses related to the dissemination of obscene material.
