      Probably, but it could also have been incredibly racist and whats worse.

      This guy really needs to show what he posted. Why hide that.

        Yeah. Fascist criminals like Yaxley-Lennon in the UK cry about their free speech, and when you look at the cases it’s stuff like trying to intimidate juries, or inciting crowds to set fire to buildings containing asylum seekers.

        Their account is still available outside of Turkey so check it out for yourself: https://bsky.app/profile/carekavga.bsky.social

        10 posts only, most of which are after their account got censored, so just a couple introductory posts before that’s all. I suspect the government requested its takedown because the account belonged to a politically active person that was influential enough to cause worry.

        I guess that could be in theory, but I would assume that would just lead to a visit in his home rather than a ban of his account.

      He isn’t a dictator, he actually survived a military coup, and unlike his nationalist opponents he has welcomed refugees.

        as a turkish citizen, he is a fucking dictator. The day will come when he will be held accountable for all his crimes.

          No, that’s nepotism. He wins elections and is popular.

          If your criteria is failing to admit to genocides, then every Western “democracy” is a dictatorship, except perhaps Ireland.
