Aug 4 (Reuters) - Social media platform X said on Tuesday it was complying with a Turkish court order to block ‌access in the country to jailed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem ‌Imamoglu's presidential candidacy office account, but was challenging the order in court. • An Istanbul ​court ordered X to restrict access to Imamoglu's account, which has around 225,700 followers, to protect national security and public order, according to a copy of the order posted by X. • X said Turkish law ‌required it to implement ⁠the restriction, but that it disagreed with the order and had started legal proceedings. His university diploma, which is a requirement for being a presidential candidate, was annulled by Istanbul University a day before he was ‌detained. • Imamoglu's main X account, which ​had nearly 10 million followers, was blocked in ​Turkey in May 2025 ​under a similar order.
