I'm guessing Wikipedia isn't involved in putting up satellites for Turkey.

On @elonmusk’s claim that everybody does it, actually in 2014 Erdoğan made the same demands of Twitter. Twitter refused and he did briefly ban the site. But the whole thing backfired on Erdoğan. Twitter also told Turkish users ways to evade the ban. https://t.co/h7tbENNDK0

3/ take involved. But they’ve also frequently refused or pushed back and they’ve also won some of those battles, or seen the autocrat get a black eye for pulling the plug. It’s not like Elon says and we have a comically on point example from the past.
