“ has demonstrated yet again that Twitter is no mere social media company, but a propaganda machine with certain political and ideological inclinations,” said presidency communications director Fahrettin Altun. He also said documents cited to support Twitter’s decision were unscientific, biased and politically motivated, and that it was scandalous to cite a report by individuals “peddling their ideological views”.
“We would like to remind the company of the eventual fate of a number of organisations which attempted to take similar steps in the past,” Altun said.Yaman Akdeniz, cyber rights expert and professor at Istanbul Bilgi University, said the accounts removed by Twitter were only “the tip of the iceberg” of other questionable activity.
Thank you Twitter. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Terroristerdogan and his bot armies are well known. Their IP addresses have been tracked repeatedly to buildings in Ankara. 7k bots is just the start. Remember, if you tweet anti-AKP messages, the police arrest you and charge you with 'terrorism'.
Twitter can remove all accounts except twitter support.
Were they using twitter bots then?
Don’t worry Reis they can’t stop us
The guy who came to power by military coup is slamming Twitter over propaganda and silencing? Weird flex.
Erdogan is a fool and flops in all directions to find all doors closed in his face. Relation with European Union, US and Russia is at its worst, and relationship with the Arab countries is not envied. Turkish lira has decreased from 2.66/$ to 6.83/$ over the past 5 years.
R,
Love the great leader of Turkey Mr.Erdgan.
Turkey is🦃
I accuse Turkey of suppressing freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom.
Pot, meet kettle.
Sounds like rat boy Erdogan is angry. Classic fascist misdirection.
Really ?RTErdogan Twitter is propanganda machine or your home run channel TRTWorldNow trtworld are the real propaganda machine ?
In my considered opinion, Mr. Erdoğan belongs in a cell.
Erdogan realized one thing: It's not him, reality makes the rules.
Modern day journalists hey. English is just not enough anymore. We could have used condemns, reproaches, denounces, castigates, criticizes but no not good enough for our young twitterati paparazzi baby journo generation. Turkey SLAMS Twitter!! Booom! Mic drop..
Twitter is a private company. They don't need to justify jack shit.
Turkey and Erdogan are upset their propaganda machine have some competition
Erdoğan won election with %52 rate poll!(23,000,000 people) Is twitter ban them?
