Turkey has reinstated access to Instagram after more than a week of being blocked nationwide
Turkey reinstated access to Instagram on Saturday night, after more than a week of being blocked nationwide.
The Information and Communication Technologies Authority barred access to Instagram on Aug. 2 without providing a specific reason. Government officials later said the ban was imposed because the social media platform failed to abide by Turkish laws.
“In our talks with Instagram officials, we were assured our requests would be met, especially those regarding criminal activity, and given a promise that we would work together on a means of censoring users,” Abdulkadir Uraloglu, Turkey’s transportation and infrastructure minister wrote on the social media platform X Saturday.
