Twitter restricts some content in Turkey before presidential election; Musk defends decision

Two days before Turkey's 14 May election, Twitter said it had taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey, without naming the content. Musk defended it: The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets.

Response: Human Rights Watch urged platforms to be more transparent, saying the election's integrity depended on accessible platforms. Musk said Twitter could post what the Turkish government had sent.
