The most terrific part is that Turks outside of Turkey (here in Germany) are now censuring themselves as they are afraid to be monitored and as a result be arrested when going to Turkey for vacations and visiting family.

Wow, are we really just deleting comments from people we don&#x27;t agree with?<p>I haven&#x27;t seen any insults here, just people commenting from a seemingly pro-Erdogan perspective. What&#x27;s the reasoning behind that?<p>EDIT: Specifically I&#x27;m referring to diminish&#x27;s comment from ~1 hour ago.

Well, this thread is clearly going to be heavily trolled by pro-Erdogan activists ..

but when will turks &quot;fight back&quot; rather than continuing to suffer under a petty dictator who arrests them for their app use?

Wow, Erdogan really turned his &quot;assassination attempt&quot; into a Reichstagsbrand![0] It&#x27;s quite disheartening to see the rise of a fascist dictator in the 21st century. I&#x27;m afraid for my progressive friends in Istanbul.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Reichstag_fire" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Reichstag_fire</a>

I think the international community should implement tech export limitations already at this stage, rather then ten years down the line when they have completely cemented their dictatorship.
