@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?
@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?

If you're starting a tariff war with Canada, you're the asshole.
"You can go south to get to Canada. And Canadians are nice people, like they're the only people who preemptively apologize, prophylactic apologies. Right? You meet them and they're like, 'Sorry.' You're like, 'For what?' They're like, 'For whatever I'm going to do that's going to offend you.' You're like, 'So if you're picking a tariff war with Canada, you're the asshole.'"
"Canadians are good people.

@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.

Egyptian American Abdul El-Sayed studies political science and biology at the University of Michigan, graduating with highest distinction. He earns a doctorate in public health at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, then a medical degree from Columbia University, where he becomes an epidemiology professor.
He goes on to lead Detroit’s public health department.
And now, he has been elected to the United States Senate from Michigan…
