Facebook, Twitter And YouTube Blacked Out In Turkey Amid Fears Of Attempted Coup
Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are reportedly blocked in Turkey amid talk of an attempted coup.
The social media sites were blocked on Friday as tanks barged through the streets of Istanbul during what Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim called an attempted coup by parts of the nation's military.
The military activity in Istanbul and the capital of Ankara was unexpected and sudden. Initial reports emerged of military jets flying low over Ankara while the main bridges across The Bosphorus, the water body that separates the European half from the Asian half of Istanbul, were closed by armed forces.
Military officers have reportedly taken over the state broadcasting network and announced they have assumed control of the country, though other government officials dispute this.
