Current Twitter CEO Elon Musk defended the platform’s decision to restrict access to some content in Turkey a day ahead of the country’s election.

“In response to legal process and to ensure Twitter remains available to the people of Turkey, we have taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey today,” the Twitter Global Government Affairs said a day prior to Turkey’s election, scheduled to take place on May 14.
