Why would he get blocked there?

For some reason that post does show up for me, but I can't vote on it, because "it's been removed". The crosspost offers a 400 error. Really weird.

Sometimes cross-instance links might not work as intended, no idea why.

Bluesk

bluesky will block too.

He would get blocked there because BlueSky will comply with legal requests as well, because if they don't they will face criminal charges and/or massive fines. BlueSky, being a platform that loves censorship, would not challenge the legal order in court like X are either.

Even fediverse instance owners would be forced to block his accounts under threat of fines and/or prosecution.

edit: BlueSky have already blocked his account lol

if they don't they will face criminal charges

The Turkish government does not have the authority to enforce criminal charges on an American person/company.

Even fediverse instance owners would be forced to block his accounts under threat of fines and/or prosecution.

Only if the instance owners/servers were in Turkey.

Criminal charges was probably the wrong word, but that’s being pedantic. The company operates in Turkey and allows Turkish people to use the product, so they have to follow Turkish laws. The Turkish government can file legal charges against them for failure to comply. Same with any fediverse instance owners - they would either have to block their instance from all Turkish users, or comply.

It's not. At all.

they would either have to block their instance from all Turkish users, or comply.

No, they wouldn't. Once again, Turkey has no authority over people and servers not located in their jurisdiction.

The Turkish government has legal authority over companies that are serving their citizens.

Why do you think the GDPR laws were such a big deal even outside of the UK?

No. They don't. You can keep repeating this non-sense but it's simply untrue.

[-] FreedomAdvocate@lemmy.net.au 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You don’t think companies that operate in Turkey for Turkish citizens have to follow any Turkish laws?

Again - GDPR.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 0 points 1 month ago

You don’t think companies that operate in Turkey

Lemmy is not a company and the users and servers located outside of Turkey are not subject to the jurisdiction of Turkey.

If you're just going to repeat the same non-sense over and over without any evidence I'm going to block you.

When a Lemmy instance owner gets a legal request from a foreign countries government to take down content, after they’re done shitting themselves they’ll take the content down or they’ll have to implement a country wide block on that country, along with not allowing any citizens of that country to use their instance no matter where they are located.

Block me, I don’t care. You’re just proving that you can’t handle the truth and being challenged with it.
