Just curious.
Well, of course the EU has the GDPR and California has the CCPA.
My country, Türkiye, has the KVKK. (The Turkish Data Protection Law/Authority)
Does your country have something similar to this?

Yeah it's kind of useless. The apps you listed are available, but for example Newgrounds is banned.

IDK about the second thing about the encrypted apps, but I would expect them to do it. But some people have been jailed for criticizing Erdogan.

and IDK what place Turkey is, but yeah it has a very high number.

Erdogan pls don't put me in jail

the bird turkey was imported to English speaking countries from Turkey, hence the name. To Turkey, it was imported from India (Hindistan) and that's why the same bird is called "hindi" in Turkish.

Portugese sold oranges, you call that fruit "portakal". Karpuz est le dieu des fruits in ancient greek. All these names have their histories. There are thousands of names like this.

Claiming that the country is insulted because of sharing its name with a bird, Erdogan's propaganda team distracted most people from real issues.

don't participate in the pathetic and hyped inferiority complex shit-show. Turkey is Turkey.
