> A Turkish court has ordered X to block an account supporting Ekrem Imamoglu’s candidacy. Imamoglu is a member of the main opposition Republican People’s Party. He is widely viewed as the principal challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s 23-year rule. The ruling places a social-media account linked to the opposition figure at the center of a legal dispute.
