Early Friday morning, August 2, **Turkish authorities blocked access to [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/)**, citing unfair treatment by [Meta Platforms](https://cyberdefence24.pl/polityka-i-prawo/meta-o-realizacji-wnioskow-od-rzadu-rygorystyczne-zasady-i-procesy). The Turkish Information and Communications Technology Authority (BTK), the body liable for monitoring issues related to the functioning of the net in the country, initially announced its decision without providing details, only saying that "instagram.com was blocked by decision dated 02/08/2024."
