Turkey is going through a very busy period. The struggle not only against the earthquake felt in Kahramanmaraş and the surrounding provinces, but also against disinformation and fraudsters continues. Unfortunately, as part of this fight, access to Twitter and TikTok was restricted in the afternoon. Officials announced that this decision was taken to combat the aforementioned negativities and they had a productive meeting with the company officials. While it was thought that the problem was solved, now users started to have difficulties in accessing Instagram and Ekşi Sözlük. So, is the access to Ekşi Sözlük and Instagram restricted?
Ekşi Sözlük and Instagram access are not restricted!
Without further ado, let’s answer the most frequently asked question. No, the Republic of Turkey did not impose any restrictions on users’ access to Instagram and Ekşi Sözlük. These sites are open to use without any problems. However, this does not mean that the problem does not occur. Many people have problems logging into Ekşi Sözlük and Instagram.
Authorities underline that this problem is caused by a technical glitch and that work has begun to be corrected. Many people already have access to Instagram. The outage only affects a small number of users. On the Ekşi Sözlük side, there is more slowness than access problem. Users who enter the site can reach the pages they want after waiting for a while.
