On Friday night there was a coup in Turkey, by a small group of soldiers who took over the country's capital by blocking the bridges that give access to the European part of Turkey with the use of tanks and various aircraft. . Fortunately at Within a few hours, the coup d'état faded until all the soldiers involved were detained by the country's police..
The president of the country was on vacation in the south of the country and was quickly transferred to a bunker to protect him. Within minutes of starting the coup, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube were blocked so that no one could have contact with the outside of the country through these social media, which become media in these cases.
Turkish CNN before seeing how the army blocked the country's communications, was able to contact the country's president through a call through FaceTime, by which he called for all citizens and political parties to take to the streets to try to stop the coup, a coup that fortunately ended thanks in part to the citizen movement and the police, as I have commented previously. Shortly after the broadcast of this interview, the army interrupted the communications of this television station.
Apple has announced that in the next few days and until things calm down a bit more, the Apple Stores in the country will remain closed. At the moment FaceTime has never been blocked in the country every time the government faces uprisings by citizens, very common despite having once again voted for Erdogan. When these types of riots begin, the first thing the government does is block communications from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
