The Turkish PM has directed the courts to issue an order to block the use of Twitter here in Turkey. This was done because of web links spread throughout the country via Twitter. The links are to sites which contain wire tapped phone conversations between Erdoğan, his family, and government leaders which are linked to recent corruption scandals. (The PM's initial reaction to the scandals was to fire or reassign thousands of police personnel involved in various investigations. Also, he changed the way in which future investigations will be directed).
I do not have a Twitter account, but trying to go to their website leads to a blue screen with a notice that access to the site has been blocked by court order.
I believe that YouTube and Facebook are the next on his hit list.
Here is a links to CNN and The Guardian for more information:

As far as I know, users can still access Twitter through their phones by using normal texting to send messages via Twitter. I am not sure of the details as to how it is done.
Local elections are coming at the end of the month. I hope that voters send a clear message to the PM and his AK Party that enough is enough.
