Turkey Expands LGBT Crackdown: 80 Arrested, Social Media Blocked

Turkish authorities arrested 80 individuals and blocked social media accounts in a broadening clampdown on LGBTQ+ groups, journalists, and civil society. The move escalates a pattern of state repression against dissent, signaling a hardening of domestic political control. The scope and legal basis of the arrests remain partially unclear, but the action marks a notable expansion of censorship and detention.
