According to Turkish media reports: pages of popular internet platforms like X load slowly or do not load at all.

Currently, the access problem persists. However, some users also note that the platforms are working without issues.

The Turkish Union of Access Providers, responsible for implementing internet blocking decisions, is expected to comment on the situation later.

Recall

In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and in Russia, users are massively complaining about problems with the WhatsApp messenger – access is unstable or completely absent.

WhatsApp states that Russia is trying to block the messenger to prevent secure communication.
