人权组织呼吁社交媒体平台（包括X）抵制土耳其法院的审查命令，以防止对记者和活动人士的压制。
Human rights groups urge social media platforms, including X, to resist Turkish court orders censoring journalists and activists.
土耳其安卡拉 — — 超过十家人权组织周一呼吁社交媒体平台（包括X）抵制土耳其法院的封禁命令，这些命令导致数百个属于记者和活动人士的账号被封。
ANKARA, Turkey — More than a dozen human rights groups urged social media platforms, including X, on Monday to resist Turkish court orders blocking hundreds of accounts belonging to journalists and activists.
这21个组织（包括人权观察和Article 19）还呼吁土耳其政府停止发布这些封禁命令，称这些命令侵犯了言论自由。
The 21 organizations, including Human Rights Watch and Article 19, also called on the Turkish government to stop issuing the blocking orders, which they say violate freedom of expression.
过去几周，土耳其当局要求社交媒体平台屏蔽独立媒体、记者、学者以及LGBTQ群体和其他非政府组织的账号。政府以公共安全问题为由为这些限制辩护。
Over the past weeks, Turkish authorities have ordered social media platforms to withhold accounts belonging to independent media outlets, journalists and academics as well as LGBTQ groups and other nongovernmental organizations. The government has cited public safety concerns to justify the restrictions.
“社交媒体平台应立即采取有意义的行动，以履行其人权责任，避免助长对独立媒体的压制和侵犯言论自由权，”这些组织在联合声明中表示。“土耳其当局应停止发布封禁命令，以限制社交媒体和网站上的内容和账号，此举侵犯了言论自由权。”声明称，土耳其当局曾命令X封禁至少1,270个账号的访问。这些权利组织表示，他们尤其担心独立新闻网站T24被封禁。
“Social media platforms should take meaningful steps immediately to uphold their human rights responsibilities and avoid contributing to suppressing independent media and violating the right to freedom of expression,” the groups said in a joint statement. “The Turkish authorities should stop issuing blocking orders to restrict content and accounts on social media and websites in violation of the right to freedom of expression.”The statement said Turkish authorities ordered X to block access to at least 1,270 accounts. The rights groups said they were especially concerned by the barring of access to the independent news site T24.
“封禁T24 — — 土耳其最大且历史最悠久的独立新闻媒体之一 — — 特别令人担忧，”声明中称，使用了土耳其政府偏好的国家名称拼写。“该命令以防止犯罪和维护公共秩序为由，但未说明被引用的内容如何对任一目标构成威胁。”土耳其政府和社交媒体平台目前尚未作出回应。
“Blocking T24, one of Türkiye’s biggest and oldest remaining independent news outlets, is particularly troubling,” the statement said, using the Turkish government’s preferred spelling for Turkey. “The order cited preventing crime and protecting public order as grounds for the measure but provided no explanation about how the cited content posed a threat to either objective.”There was no immediate response from the Turkish government or from the social media platforms.
然而，在8月，埃隆·马斯克的X表示，它被迫遵守土耳其的命令，但正在法庭上对这些命令提出质疑。该平台此前因遵守土耳其命令而封锁伊斯坦布尔被囚禁市长埃克雷姆·伊玛莫卢的账户而受到批评，现在作出回应。X通过其全球政府事务渠道表示：“不遵守这些命令可能会引发严厉制裁，包括在土耳其对整个平台进行限速。”
In August, however, Elon Musk’s X said it had been forced to comply with Turkish orders but was challenging them in court. The platform was responding to criticism over previous compliance with a Turkish order to block an account belonging to the imprisoned mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu“Not complying with these orders can trigger severe sanctions, including throttling of the entire platform in Türkiye,” X said through its Global Government Affairs channel.
X表示：“我们在法庭上挑战这些命令，因为我们认为让平台在土耳其保持可访问性对于支持言论自由和信息获取至关重要。”该声明是在记者们报道最近一起土耳其投资基金丑闻之际发布的——该丑闻牵涉到总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安执政党的一位高级人物——而这些记者也正面临日益增加的压力。
“X challenges these orders in court because we believe keeping the platform accessible in Türkiye is vital to supporting freedom of expression and access to information.”The statement came as journalists reporting on a recent Turkish investment fund scandal— which has implicated a senior figure from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling party — are also faced with increased pressure.
上周，两名记者因 allegedly 被指控在该丑闻中传播虚假信息而被逮捕，另外两名记者被软禁在家。政府承诺将追究所有对此次丑闻负有责任者的法律责任。
Last week, two journalists were arrested for allegedly spreading misinformation over the scandal while two others were placed under house arrest. The government has promised to bring anyone responsible for the scandal to justice.
