Hi there,
We are writing to inform you that we have received a formal request from a legal authority in Turkey regarding the removal of your account associated with the following handle (@carekavga.bsky.social) on Bluesky.
The legal authority has claimed that this content violates local laws in Turkey. As a result, we are required to review the request in accordance with local regulations and Bluesky's policies.
Following a thorough review, we have determined that the content in question violates local laws in Turkey, as outlined in the legal request. In compliance with these legal provisions, we have restricted access to your account for users.
I don't get why they listened to the Turkish government. There not (to my understanding) registered there or have any kind of assests there.
let's hope they stop at that and don't give out their info like yahoo did before for china and other oppressive governments
My naive guess is that if the Turkish government ban access to BlueSky for not complying, that cuts into user count and therefore profitability.
