X's ai chatbot Grok is now blocked in #Turkey. Amazing how Erdoğan's prosecutors still find time to ban Grok, even while working overtime targeting the CHP. Multitasking authoritarianism at its finest.

Almost 2 years into #simsek 's 'stabilization' program (built on 2 pillars: tight monetary policy & fairy tales about reforms etc) and the déjà vu is getting hard to ignore. Failure is in the air. #Turkey #sameold

When corporate comms go wrong: a simple Ramadan greeting sparks a legal storm. #Vestel CEO Ergün #Güler sent a company-wide Ramadan message, but #Zorlu Holding (which controls Vestel) CEO Cem #Köksal wasn’t pleased.

The imprisoned leader of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), Abdullah #Öcalan, has called on the group to disarm and disband. This could mark a historic turning point. #Turkey ⬇️

Who’s next? That’s the chilling question in #Turkey as #Erdoğan’s judiciary is carrying out yet another wave of repression. A thread🔽
