Halk TV covered the access block targeting Ekrem İmamoğlu’s X account, drawing on an EngelliWeb announcement.
The report stated that access to the account, which had 9.7 million followers, had been blocked under Article 8/A of Law No. 5651 on the grounds of “protecting national security and public order”, and that X had withheld the account from view in Türkiye.
The broadcast also explained the country-specific nature of the legal restriction and noted that the account remained accessible from abroad or through a VPN. Further details are available in the EngelliWeb announcement.
