Twitter to be re-enabled in Turkey soon, says Elon Musk amid earthquakes

Twitter CEO Elon Musk has said that the Turkey government has informed the company that access to the microblogging site will be “re-enabled shortly.”

“Twitter has been informed by the Turkish government that access will be re-enabled shortly,” Musk tweeted on Wednesday (local time).

As the country continues to battle the aftermath of the powerful February 6 earthquakes, aid workers and locals have been relying on Twitter and other social media networks to post information on rescue efforts and coordination of aid.

The Washington Post reported that in the wake of the quakes, a number of users said their access to Twitter was largely blocked or limited without using a VPN.
