Journalists critical of the government have faced arrest and imprisonment, and government orders have blocked media outlets from covering protests. Despite Elon Musk’s public denials of cooperating with the authorities and X's official Global Government Affairs announcing that the platform would object to multiple court orders in Turkey, news reports and testimonials from journalists indicate that the platform has complied with government requests to block accounts critical of the regime, to a large extent and for over a year now. The Gezi Park protests taught Turkey that the struggle for freedom is never over, and today’s protests echo that same spirit of defiance.
