Hello guys.
Today I want to talk to you about one topic widely spoken in recent days in Turkey. Also, I wonder if there are such situations in your country or what are your views. Please write your thoughts.
One of the most popular titles in the last two days was undoubtedly Netflix Turkey. RTÜK to interfere with Netflix original productions with gay characters and Turkey as a result of alleged Netflix also decided to withdraw from Turkey has been discussed for some time in all social media.
"Dear friends, unfortunately, this is a farewell tweet. Netflix management decided to close the TR infrastructure from some problems experienced. We have to thank our endless thanks to everyone who has not left us alone until today." A fake tweet containing statements confused the agenda too.
Today, at noon, AK Party Deputy Chairman Mahir Ünal, who is in power, made statements about Netflix. In a statement from Unal social media accounts, "netflixturkey nor the political level, the AK Party, Publicity and Media Chairman met with the official level in Communication Presidency. Let them think why go to Turkey? Netflix deeper cooperation with the Turkish culture, higher towards the arts I believe it will show sensitivity. " said.

Journalist Cuneyt Ozdemir, sharing his social media accounts, "AK Party's homosexuality drew censorship Netflix rest. stopped at the shooting range in Turkey. Censorship did not agree. Will it be the first and only country to Turkey, which prohibits Netflix in the world?" he wrote. After Özdemir's sharing, Netflix discussions started.
Netflix's most important statement on the allegations made by Turkey to withdraw from the Netflix. The following statements were used in the statement:
"Netflix, our members in Turkey and we are continuing our commitment to the creative community deeply. We are proud of the talented names we work with. We are very excited about our projects that are currently under construction and will start shooting soon, and we look forward to sharing these stories with our members from all corners of the world."
Netflix as seen not as a withdrawal of the case from Turkey.
President Erdogan, who control the social media channels of global companies about the content of representation in Western countries of all kinds that assume legal and financial responsibility, but Turkey is also arguing that you avoid this responsibility in some countries, including insisted, "Americans Europeans, the Chinese, whereas this facility of 83 million Turkish citizens We cannot accept that the hand is tied in the face of social media terrorism. We are working on a comprehensive legal arrangement in this regard. We are determined to do whatever is necessary for the internet and social media channels to establish legal and financial correspondence in our country as soon as possible. "
In my opinion, the government has no right to censor a membership that has been paid. People who are annoyed by the content on Netflix may not cancel or watch their membership. Why would showing homosexuality or lovemaking scenes in TV series affect people badly? While the more disgusting incidents such as violence and rape on women are not censored on Turkish television, I think that the attitude towards Netflix is political. And I am not satisfied with this situation at all.
I guess this is a modern example of censorship... just like some will censor Twitter, Facebook, Google, Instagram, some will censor movies and TV shows with content they don't like. A VPN will help you watch Netflix content available elsewhere, so that can be a solution if you actually will be punished as content is removed from Netflix in your country.

You're right, a VPN can solve the problem. It's not a big deal but in the 21st century, encountering such restrictions makes me uncomfortable.
