Turkish government threatens to cut off Twitter access—again

Turkey’s citizens may once again find themselves without access to Twitter: According to the New York Times, that nation’s government has threatened to block access to the microblogging service within the country unless Twitter blocked an account belonging to a newspaper that published details of a secret government investigation.According to the Times, the threat of a block came about after a Turkish court ruled that media outlets couldn’t publish documents on a military police raid on the Turkish Intelligence Agency, citing national security concerns. While Facebook, Twitter, and Google worked to comply with the ruling, one newspaper, BirGun, continued to publish details on the raid to its Twitter account.
