        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.

          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’s an authoritarian who silences dissent, and the coup has a bunch of questionable bits.

            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.

              Jailing opposition leader and biggest rival before the election, on made up charges, is not compatible with “elections” and more with dictatorship.

              The people who committed the Armenian genocide were secularist nationalists acting during a time of Ottoman weakness.

              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.
