Turkey warns Twitter against smearing government and promoting anti-Ankara terror groups after social network company suspended 7,000 accounts within Turkey
The allegations that these were "fake" profiles designed to support the president and that they were managed by a central authority were "untrue" he said.Altun said the documents cited to support Twitter's decision were unscientific, biased and politically motivated and that it was scandalous to reference a report by individuals "peddling their ideological views."
The Turkish official was apparently referring to a report by the Stanford Internet Observatory that said the network posted some 37 million tweets, promoting the AK Party and criticising Turkey's main opposition parties.Altun also said Twitter was eager to promote and support propaganda by anti-Turkey entities, including FETO and PKK terror groups.
"We would like to remind this company of the eventual fate of a number of organisations, which attempted to take similar steps in the past," he said.
