Turkey blocks access to Twitter, WhatsApp and Facebook
Internet users in Turkey have been experiencing severe difficulties accessing social media after the country was plunged into new turbulence by the detention of its main pro-Kurdish leaders, a watchdog said.
The messaging service WhatsApp was not working, and users also reported severe problems accessing Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other sites, Internet users said.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirm did not directly confirm that blocks were in place but acknowledged that "from time to time for security reasons we can use such measures"
