> According to İFÖD, Turkish court orders led to the blocking of 59 accounts at the internet service provider level. Separately, Bluesky voluntarily made 13 accounts and one post inaccessible in Turkey, likely in response to legal pressure.

The posts are still accessible to everyone on Bluesky who doesn't have their location set to Turkey. Bluesky uses a labeling system to hide the posts with a warning for people in Turkey and it's only hidden for them.

Most knowledgeable Bluesky users I've spoken to don't believe there was any type of ISP level block and that's a misunderstanding by the author of that article.
