The Turkish government has previously banned certain pages of Twitter and YouTube for political reasons, and only Facebook is not receiving a certain page access ban.

It is natural to abide by the laws and regulations of the country on that above and it is important to disclose clearly "which pages were banned from viewing" that becomes important after that. "
