ISTANBUL: Turkiye's government on Monday called officials from Instagram to a meeting, four days after blocking the social media platform.


Instagram has been accused by the authorities both of censorship and of failing to remove posts the authorities deemed offensive.


Representatives in Turkiye of the platform would meet Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu. "We hope they will do what's necessary to respond to our demands. We're hoping for positive developments," Uraloglu said on X. "Last week there was a meeting with representatives of the platform, in which we set out our views on respect for Turkish laws," he continued. — AFP
