Probably said something bad about their current dictator.
Probably, but it could also have been incredibly racist and whats worse.
This guy really needs to show what he posted. Why hide that.
Yeah. Fascist criminals like Yaxley-Lennon in the UK cry about their free speech, and when you look at the cases it’s stuff like trying to intimidate juries, or inciting crowds to set fire to buildings containing asylum seekers.
Their account is still available outside of Turkey so check it out for yourself: https://bsky.app/profile/carekavga.bsky.social
10 posts only, most of which are after their account got censored, so just a couple introductory posts before that’s all. I suspect the government requested its takedown because the account belonged to a politically active person that was influential enough to cause worry.
If its because hes part of the opposition, its worrying. But Bluesky mentions he also violates their ToS, so it might be worse in some way.
Theres too much missing information to make an opinion, but we should keep an eye out either way for more examples of this.
Or maby he was selling some grass
I guess that could be in theory, but I would assume that would just lead to a visit in his home rather than a ban of his account.
He isn’t a dictator, he actually survived a military coup, and unlike his nationalist opponents he has welcomed refugees.
He’s an authoritarian who silences dissent, and the coup has a bunch of questionable bits.
as a turkish citizen, he is a fucking dictator. The day will come when he will be held accountable for all his crimes.
he is a dictator. stop shittin yourself. if you make your relatives head of the baninking system you are a dictator. a shitty one too as it seems from the cost of living in istanbul. cant mention the genocides against armenians or kurds. total fail in cyprus. man what a loser.
No, that’s nepotism. He wins elections and is popular.
If your criteria is failing to admit to genocides, then every Western “democracy” is a dictatorship, except perhaps Ireland.
Dictators do nepotism. Stop lying. Stop propagandizing.
Jailing opposition leader and biggest rival before the election, on made up charges, is not compatible with “elections” and more with dictatorship.
Can I do that too as a german? Our genocide was a weakness of vienna-afficinados acting during a time of german weakness. LOL. @PanArab is a Nazi pig.
