Halk TV covered the access block targeting clips from Deniz Göktaş’s “Ölü Deniz” stand-up show shared on X, drawing on EngelliWeb announcements.
The programme, broadcast on 26 June 2026, clarified that the decision concerned clips shared on X rather than the show in its entirety. It reported that the access-blocking decision had been issued under Article 8/A of Law No. 5651 on the grounds of “protecting national security and public order”, and that X had begun withholding the posts from view in Türkiye.
The discussion also addressed the place of satire and political criticism within freedom of expression. Further details are available in the EngelliWeb announcement.
