HRW accuses Türkiye of expanding internet censorship through legal abuse
Original: HRW condemns Türkiye’s abuse of legal framework to expand internet censorship
Human Rights Watch has condemned Türkiye for misusing its legal framework to broaden internet censorship, according to reporting by Jurist. The rights group says Turkish authorities are exploiting existing laws to restrict online access and silence dissent. Critics warn the practice deepens restrictions on free expression in a country already known for blocking websites and social media platforms.
Why now: The rights group's condemnation draws fresh attention to Türkiye's tightening control over online speech.
