Discord Ban in Turkey
The Turkish government cited multiple concerns leading to Discord's ban:
* Suspicion of "child sexual abuse and obscenity" crimes committed on the platform, according to Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc[1][2]
* Discord's refusal to share user information, including IP addresses and content, with Turkish authorities[3]
* Difficulty in monitoring and intervening when illegal content is shared due to Discord's structure[3][2]
The ban followed public outrage over the murder of two young women in Istanbul, with some Discord users reportedly praising the crime[1][4]. This incident intensified calls for stricter regulation of online platforms in Turkey.
