Turkey’s leading press organization and two experts in Internet law took legal action Monday to try to overturn a government ban on Twitter, even as the government intensified its efforts to block access to the social media site. The organization, the Turkish Journalists’ Association, which represents 3,300 journalists, filed a complaint in a local Ankara court, arguing that the ban violated freedom of information protected by the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights. Using a similar argument to challenge the ban’s legality, two lawyers specializing in Internet regulation filed a case at the Constitutional Court of Turkey, which has the authority to revoke the ban.
