The internet saved Turkey’s president from a coup. Now he’s doubling down on censorship.

"Turkey’s President would not be in power today had he succeeded more fully
in his efforts to curtail critical media and control online speech.
That fact gave a ray of hope to some of his critics that President Recep
Tayyip Erdoğan might realize what saved him and soften his inclination
toward censorship. But Erdoğan quickly shut the door on such optimism
Wednesday with a new crackdown and declaration of a state of emergency."
