X has blocked access to accounts run by student groups from top Turkish universities at the request of the Turkish government amid nationwide protests over the detention of the mayor of İstanbul and the cancelation of his university degree, the Diken news website reported on Friday.

Yeah some time ago I used to respect these companies I remember when Google condemned the Egyptian government’s actions in 2011 and one of the very popular activists in the revolution was the head of marketing in Google MENA. But now the truth has never been more obvious to me. Individuals may or may not care but corporations will never care.
