Turkey lifts ban on Wikipedia
After the constitution rules that banning Wikipedia is the violation when it comes to freedom of expression. Many officials argue that the ban in 2017 was right at that time as Wikipedia had ignored the turkeys demand of removing content that was accusing the government of assisting terrorist groups. Finally, after three years, the government has lifted up the ban imposed on Wikipedia. The human rights groups have criticised the government for the ablation of free od speech in the country. A comprehensive analysis of the court’s ruling was issued in the Official Gazette, urging regulators to restore access to the website. “As the access to Wikipedia is still actively being restored across Turkey, some users in Turkey may experience restored access sooner or later than others,’’ The Turkish government had also blocked access to other social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook with the same reason of supporting terrorist propaganda and at the same time insulting Turkish political figures.
