Turkish project EngelliWeb, tracking internet censorship, faces access ban

The social media account for EngelliWeb, a project that monitors and documents internet access restrictions in Turkey, has been blocked. The platform, run by the Freedom of Expression Association, is now inaccessible within the country. While the account has not yet been removed by the platform provider, its content is no longer visible to users in Turkey.

This action follows a pattern of restricting online content and platforms that report on such measures. EngelliWeb's role in cataloging these blocks makes its own silencing particularly notable. The move raises concerns about the shrinking space for digital rights advocacy and information dissemination in Turkey.
