>Twitter back online in Turkey
Twitter was blocked for at least 12 hours on major Turkish mobile providers in an outage that ended early Thursday, following a flurry of online criticism of the government’s response to this week’s deadly earthquake.
By about 5 am (0200 GMT), the social media site was accessible again.
Online monitor netblocks.org on Wednesday showed Twitter becoming throttled and then completely blocked across all major cell phone providers in the country. The site still worked using VPN services that disguise a user’s location.
The country is still stricken after Monday’s 7.8-magnitude quake, which killed at least 15,000 people there and in neighbouring Syria.
Turkish social media has been filled with posts by people complaining about a lack of search and rescue efforts in their provinces.
