How are those Twitter files investigations coming along?
By 
Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s commitment to free speech was questioned on Saturday amid the social media platform’s move to restrict access to some content in Turkey, where the parliamentary and presidential elections will take place on Sunday.
What Happened: In what is seen as closely contested parliamentary and presidential races, incumbent Recep Tayyip Erdogan will take on a unified opposition. Political analysts have raised the possibility of Erodgan’s over-two-decade rule coming to an end amid public discontent over his handling of the economic crisis and an earthquake that claimed the lives of over 50,000 people in February.
Substack author and Bloomberg columnist Matthew Yglesias on Saturday retweeted a tweet from the Twitter Global Government Affairs handle that said that “[in] response to legal process and to ensure Twitter remains available to the people of Turkey, we have taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey today.”
A follow-up tweet also said that affected account holders were informed of the action and that the restricted content would remain available in the rest of the world.
In response to Twitter’s move, the substack author tweeted that the Turkish government had “asked Twitter to censor its opponents right before the election” and that Musk had complied — a decision that Yglesias added would “generate some interesting Twitter Files reporting.”
This is my shocked face.

So edgy! No woke political correctness for this civil libertarian warrior.
