Replying to @X
@X @Support @GlobalAffairs @elonmusk Today, I learned by chance from my readers that my latest account, @FarukAnalysisTR, has also been blocked from access in Türkiye. I received no notification from X and did not expect this account to be restricted as well. This is now my third affected account, alongside @TheSignalPlus and @FarukAnaliz. Why must I learn about restrictions on my own account from my readers? Who requested this action, on what legal grounds, and what justifies blocking the entire account? I condemn this repeated, unexplained censorship. A platform that claims to defend free expression owes its users transparency and accountability. Provide the relevant order. Explain the grounds. Give me a meaningful opportunity to appeal. #NoToCensorship #FreeSpeech
THREE ACCOUNTS RESTRICTED IN TÜRKİYE. STILL NO CLEAR EXPLANATION. These are my three accounts that have been blocked from access in Türkiye: @TheSignalPlus @FarukAnaliz @FarukAnalysisTR Others report having six or seven accounts restricted in the same way, without a clear explanation. I have received no copy of a legal order, no specific grounds, and no notice identifying which post allegedly violated which law or rule. @GlobalAffairs @Support @elonmusk — Who requested these restrictions? On what legal grounds? What justifies blocking entire accounts, and why haven’t I been provided with the reasons and a meaningful opportunity to challenge them? Why should my analysis remain accessible elsewhere but be hidden from readers in Türkiye—the very people it concerns? I write about financial markets, accountability, and investors’ losses. Repeatedly cutting me off from my readers without explaining why is unacceptable. I condemn this opaque censorship. For a global platform that claims to champion free expression, this lack of transparency and accountability is disgraceful. Disclose the legal basis. Provide the relevant orders. Explain the grounds. Give affected account holders a meaningful opportunity to appeal. Freedom of expression should not depend on which side of a border your readers live on. #NoToCensorship #FreeSpeech #FreedomOfExpression

@Support, we have a question about the access restrictions you enforce in Türkiye. While Batuhan Mumcu was Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism, news reports and social media posts about him and his wife, Neslihan Mumcu, were repeatedly blocked on grounds of “national security and public order.” He was later appointed to the board of Türkiye’s Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK). As part of an investigation into investment funds, prosecutors have now requested measures affecting Neslihan Mumcu’s assets. There are also reports that Batuhan Mumcu has been removed from the BTK board, though this has yet to be officially confirmed. Is X aware of these developments? Will you continue to restrict access in Türkiye to the X accounts of journalists, human rights defenders, analysts and other citizens? Will you review the orders behind those restrictions and tell the public what you decide? @elonmusk @X @Support, for reference, these are my other X accounts that have been withheld in Türkiye: @TheSignalPulse (formerly @farukbkc44) @farukanaliz @FarukAnalysisTR Will you review the orders behind these restrictions and tell me whether access to these accounts will be restored in Türkiye?

@Support, Türkiye’de uyguladığınız erişim engelleriyle ilgili bir sorumuz var. Batuhan Mumcu, Kültür ve Turizm Bakan Yardımcısıyken kendisi ve eşi Neslihan Mumcu hakkındaki haber ve paylaşımlara “millî güvenlik ve kamu düzeni” gerekçesiyle defalarca erişim engeli getirildi. Mumcu daha sonra BTK Kurul Üyeliğine atandı. Şimdi fon soruşturması kapsamında savcılık, Neslihan Mumcu’nun mal varlığına yönelik tedbir talep etti. Batuhan Mumcu’nun BTK’daki görevinden alındığı da öne sürülüyor. Bu iddia henüz resmî olarak doğrulanmadı. Peki @Support, bu gelişmelerden haberdar mısınız? Gazetecilerin, hak savunucularının, analistlerin ve vatandaşların X hesaplarına Türkiye’de uyguladığınız erişim engellerini sürdürecek misiniz? Bu engellerin dayanağı olan kararları yeniden inceleyip sonucu kamuoyuna açıklayacak mısınız? @elonmusk @X @Support, Türkiye’de erişime engellenen diğer X hesaplarım şunlar. @TheSignalPulse (eski kullanıcı adı @farukbkc44) @farukanaliz @FarukAnalysisTR Bu engellerin dayanağı olan kararları yeniden inceleyecek misiniz? Hesaplarım Türkiye’de yeniden erişime açılacak mı?

@X @Support @elonmusk My accounts were blocked in Türkiye after I published reporting and analysis on matters of public interest. Yet the issues we raised subsequently became the subject of investigations, legal proceedings and arrests. Many of the allegations we brought to public attention were substantiated. My original account, which I have built since 2009, was withheld in Türkiye. The three accounts I subsequently opened were also withheld there. In total, four of my accounts have faced this restriction. Three of those accounts are: • My original account: @farukbkc44 — later renamed @TheSignalPulse. • Accounts opened subsequently: @farukanaliz and @FarukAnalysisTR. As a Canadian citizen, I ask: Why is state power being used to silence someone sharing public-interest reporting and analysis? Are these restrictions becoming a tool to shield powerful interests from scrutiny? If a specific post allegedly violates the rules, identify it, explain the grounds and provide an opportunity to appeal or address the issue. How can objections to individual posts justify withholding an entire account built over many years? Mr. Musk, my history on this platform predates your ownership. Its value was built by the people who have spent years contributing to it. X should not become the plaything of a privileged group or a propaganda machine. Freedom of expression must also protect reporting and criticism that make powerful people uncomfortable. My request is clear: Transparently review the restrictions on my accounts, disclose their grounds and provide an effective way to challenge them. I also call on Canadian press-freedom organizations and Global Affairs Canada to examine this case and raise concerns about the restrictions on my accounts in Türkiye. As a Canadian citizen publishing public-interest reporting and analysis, I ask for your attention and support in defending freedom of expression and access to information. @CJFE @IFEX @CDN_WPF @CanadaFP

🚨 ABD Enflasyonu ve Tahvik Faizlerinde Son Durum ABD enflasyon verisinin beklentilerin üzerinde gelmesiyle piyasalarda hareketlilik artıyor: 📌 10 Yıllık Getiri: 1.47 baz puan artışla %5.238 seviyesine yükseldi. 📌 Fed Beklentisi: Yüksek enflasyon, Fed’in faizleri "daha uzun süre yüksek" tutacağı algısını güçlendiriyor. 📌 Piyasa Etkisi: Borçlanma maliyetlerindeki artış hisse senetleri üzerinde baskı yaratırken, ABD Doları'nı küresel ölçekte destekliyor.

Fon alıp satanlar elbette önemli. Ama suçluyu peşinen bu yatırımcılarda aramak yanlış. Elbette, fonun başlangıcından itibaren büyük kazanç sağlayan yatırımcı incelenebilir. Ama asıl kazancı FON'a devredilen çok büyük marjla prim yaptırılan hisselerin paydaşları, o hisseleri kim oralara götürdü? Fonlara devrederken kim kârları cebe indirdi? Primi hisseleri komisyon karşılığı fonlara almalar, Fon yöneticileri vs. SPK nereye bakacağını biliyor.

Ayşegül Kaya, #VSNMD ceza aldığında hem Tera Portföy Genel Müdür Yardımcısı hem de Borsa İstanbul Disiplin Kurulu Yardımcı Üyesi olarak görev yapıyordu.
Piyasa bozucu eylemden 8.9 milyon ceza alan Ayşegül Kaya, aynı zamanda Borsa İstanbul Disiplin Kurulu yardımcı üyesi. Tekrar ediyorum, SPK başkanı ve yönetimi topyekün istifa etmeli veya görevden alınmalı, başka türlü Borsa düzelmez.
