Turkey's courts system order Elon Musk's eX-Twitter to block the very reputable independent press bianet's account "amid a wave of online censorship targeting hundreds of accounts covering the protests following the İstanbul mayor's arrest.
[...]
X has complied with more than 700 requests from Turkish authorities to restrict accounts amid the protests since İmamoğlu’s arrest."

Note that neither eX-Twitter nor any of the other social media platforms which are headquartered outside Turkey actually HAVE to comply with Turkey's court orders, as they are under the jurisdiction of wherever they are registered (e.g. California, USA) unless they CHOOSE to have servers and/or office in Turkey.
If they don't have servers or office in Turkey, they are not operating in Turkey and thus it does not matter what Turkey's laws, etc would be. Turkey can then choose to block, which would lead to further protests, prestige-loss and tax-losses for the government.
However, eX-Twitter and others have CHOSEN to open an office in Turkey for the specific purpose of making themself subject to Turkey's courts, to aid the dictatorship, instead of taking the fight for proper free speech.
Same for all other places, like India, too of course.
