A follower of mine has made me aware of the fact that there exists a Turkish online platform which cooperates with Turkish police. They make a database of critical voices online, mass report them to shut them down & arrest them if they are in Turkey.

He lives in Turkey and wanted to stay anonymous to avoid arrest. Among others, @narinistan and @vvanwilgenburg are on this list. This campagin started yesterday and aims to arrest all critical Kurdish voices inside Turkey.

@narinistan @vvanwilgenburg @Twitter @edipyuksel you are on the list above. Be careful if you are going to Turkey.

@narinistan @vvanwilgenburg @Twitter Turkish speakers, can you flood it with fake accounts and pro-Turkish accounts?

Please don't do it if you live in Turkey, they might track your IP.

@narinistan @vvanwilgenburg @Twitter I've been told that the list above is organized by this account: twitter.com/lordsinov

I've reported and blocked. Don't engage with it, you should block too.

@narinistan @vvanwilgenburg @Twitter It appears that he has a backup account: twitter.com/lordsinovv

I've reported and blocked. Others might want to do that too.

A quick update on this. I can't tell you too many details, but twitter is looking into this right now. Accounts on the list should be a bit safer against being taken down.

But if you live in Turkey, please use an anonymous account. Hide personal information.
