If a Newspaper account is not blocked on Twitter Turkey will ban it

The Turkish Government is once again showing hatred towards Twitter. They are threatening twitter that they will ban it in their country if they will not block a specific newspaper account (BirGun) which is posting leaked documents that involve truth about a raid on an Intelligence agency convoy. Twitter along with other social network sites have agreed to only delete individual files not the whole account, but for Turkish government this is not enough. They believe that these media outlets are actually interfering with national security and investigation also.

We still don’t know how Twitter will respond to this matter but the company did tell the New York Times that it will “work diligently” to make sure Twitter service is available to Turkish people and at the same time their rights are safe. Of course, it won’t be that easy as it might sound. Turkey have always been looking for reasons to ban twitter and there it seems there is no other way to keep the account live and at the same time twitter available to the residents. Either account will be blocked or residents will have to bear the cost.
