Twitter and Elon Musk face criticism for restricting content ahead of Turkey's election.

Twitter has announced that it will restrict access to some content in Turkey ahead of the country's election on Sunday. The move has been criticized as ceding to demands from Turkey's right-wing leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been accused of cracking down on social media companies to stifle opposition voices. The election is Turkey's most closely contested in years, with opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu running neck-and-neck against Erdogan. If elected, Kilicdaroglu has said he would prioritize strengthening democracy while ending "authoritarian rule."
