Criminal charges was probably the wrong word, but that’s being pedantic. The company operates in Turkey and allows Turkish people to use the product, so they have to follow Turkish laws. The Turkish government can file legal charges against them for failure to comply. Same with any fediverse instance owners - they would either have to block their instance from all Turkish users, or comply.

It's not. At all.

No, they wouldn't. Once again, Turkey has no authority over people and servers not located in their jurisdiction.

You don’t seem to understand how the legal system and governments work.
They issued a legal request to censor his account in Turkey. Failure to do so would result in severe consequences for X, such as having to take X offline for all of Turkey.
X complied with the law and are challenging the censorship request in court, the only place that has the power to overrule the government.

I am not a lawyer but I do understand how jurisdictions work. Elon is not in theirs.
Failure to do so would result in severe consequences for X, such as having to take X offline for all of Turkey.
If he were a "free speech absolutist" as he claims, he would let them.
You didn't answer my question.

Why do you think the GDPR laws were such a big deal even outside of the UK?

No. They don't. You can keep repeating this non-sense but it's simply untrue.

No it is not. Twitter is a US company with US servers. If you want to argue that the US is now a territory of Turkey, please cite a source.

They can of course fight any legal requests by the Turkish government - and oh look! They are!

Lemmy is not a company and the users and servers located outside of Turkey are not subject to the jurisdiction of Turkey.
If you're just going to repeat the same non-sense over and over without any evidence I'm going to block you.

Block me, I don’t care. You’re just proving that you can’t handle the truth and being challenged with it.
