Turkish Court Ordered In Favor Of Freedom Of Expression

Twitter ban in Turkey was an open challenge for the freedom of expression platform, which was over turning the real meaning of Twitter, which is a open online platform for people to write their thoughts and expressions with open freedom. When twitter filled the case in the Turkish court which was about the instruction ordered to twitter about the take down of the accused account which tweeted about the corruption of former Turkish government, the orders of the court were surprisingly in favor of twitter. Turkish court over turned that take-down order for the ban of that particular Twitter account. The orders were totally in favor of freedom of expression and it is a win for US. Twitter said in a blog post, "This decision is an exceptionally strong win for freedom of expression, and it will be of paramount value for us in protecting Twitter’s users against other attempts at censorship in the future"

 Here is the english translated Turkish order from the court,

Freedom of speech and expression and the right to spread thoughts and opinions are fundamental rights and freedoms, which are under the Constitutional protection similar to all democratic countries. In this respect, everyone has the right to express their thoughts and in all possible ways they wish. No one may be forced to express their thoughts and opinion for any reason and purpose, and no one shall be censored or accused for that reason. Governmental bodies should avoid all acts and actions which restrict such freedom of people.
