According to the group Turkey Blocks, access to Twitter, YouTube and Facebook was disabled after the military uprising began a few hours ago (Update: two hour period of throttling). Twitter's Policy account said that it is not blocked, but "we suspect there is an intentional slowing of our traffic in country." The coup attempt is still ongoing, as there are reports of shots fired and hostages taken at the military headquarters in the country's capital city of Ankara. Despite whatever blocks are in place, Periscope is very popular in Turkey, and a number of livestreams are currently showing protests occurring around the country.

We have no reason to think we've been fully blocked in #Turkey, but we suspect there is an intentional slowing of our traffic in country. — Policy (@policy) July 15, 2016
