Tengrinews.kz - Access to Discord has been blocked by the Criminal Court of First Instance in Ankara at the request of the country’s Chief Prosecutor’s Office, according to Anadolu Agency.

According to the Turkish Minister of Justice Yilmaz Tunc, the platform was blocked due to suspicions of crimes related to sexual violence against children and obscenity.

“We are determined to protect our youth and children, the key to our future, from harmful and criminal publications on social media and the internet,” Tunc said, according to Anadolu Agency.

Discord has been instructed to remove "inappropriate" content, and access to the specified URLs from Turkey must be blocked.

Earlier, Russia's Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor) has restricted access to Discord due to violations of Russian law, according to RBC (RosBiznesConsulting).

Discord is a platform popular among gamers and the corporate IT sector. In addition to text messaging, it offers video and voice chat features. Most users communicate within open or private groups, accessible via invitation links.
