September 18, 2025
Turkey has restricted access to multiple social media platforms, including Meta's Instagram, X, YouTube, and TikTok. The restrictions were implemented following the detention of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu and others, according to Netblocks internet observatory. This government action directly impacts user access and engagement on Meta's platforms within Turkey. Such restrictions can lead to a reduction in user activity and potentially affect advertising revenue from the region. The event highlights the political risks and operational challenges Meta faces in countries where governments can impose sudden restrictions on digital services. It underscores the need for Meta to navigate complex geopolitical landscapes.
