Turkey slams Twitter for removing thousands of accounts

Turkey has slammed Twitter for removing thousands of accounts based in the country that supported President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, saying these were not “fake” profiles designed to support the president.
Twitter has purged 7,340 accounts in Turkey, saying these were employing coordinated inauthentic activity primarily targeted at domestic audiences within the country.
“This has demonstrated yet again that Twitter is no mere social media company, but a propaganda machine with certain political and ideological inclinations,” presidency communications director Fahrettin Altun was quoted as saying in an Al Jazeera report on Saturday.
He said documents cited to support Twitter’s decision were unscientific, biased and politically motivated.
