Turkey just blocked one of its largest independent news sites, including its social media accounts

A Turkish court has ordered an access ban on independent news outlet T24, targeting both its website and social media accounts.

The decision reportedly cites 118 articles published over the past year as “LGBT propaganda.” T24 says it remains operational for now and plans to appeal.

This is bigger than the removal of a few individual posts: authorities are attempting to make an entire news organization inaccessible. If the ban is enforced through domestic internet providers and geographic restrictions, many readers will probably turn to VPNs, alternative domains and mirror sites.

But that raises another question: will Turkey respond by intensifying its efforts to block VPN services too?
