Hi there,
We are writing to inform you that we have received a formal request from a legal authority in Turkey regarding the removal of your account associated with the following handle (@carekavga.bsky.social) on Bluesky.
The legal authority has claimed that this content violates local laws in Turkey. As a result, we are required to review the request in accordance with local regulations and Bluesky’s policies.
Following a thorough review, we have determined that the content in question violates local laws in Turkey, as outlined in the legal request. In compliance with these legal provisions, we have restricted access to your account for users.
Why the fuck is BlueSky, an American company, required to comply with Turkish demands…?
Because they display (or even host, potentially) content that’s “illegal” in Turkey.
What they should probably be doing is just hiding said content from users in Turkey…and encouraging users in Turkey to use VPNs, lol
Sounds like that is what they’re doing
They don’t specify though, and it should be at the content level, not the account level
You…just added that in. It didn’t say that.
Because they do business in Türkiye.

They don’t want to get blocked from Turkish market
I guess that’s a good reason.
Hell nah
Money
