China is banning twitter because China wants to control who sees what on the platform, which I'm presuming Twitter has refused to do. There's nothing visionary about this. It's called censorship.
I think parent was ironically saying that now even the governments that were criticizing china for censorship are starting to feel they should act in the same way over the main social media platforms. It is sad but is is what's happening right now.
I'm pretty sure that's what Turkey is doing here too. This is Turkey catching up to Twitter.
Let's hope the West doesn't try to catch up as well.
Don't hope, shout it from the rooftops.
I think they also don't want to cede control of their tech marketplace to US competitors like Google, Twitter, Facebook etc which is what could happen if they just allow anything in.
