Social Media Sites Unresponsive in Turkey Amid Coup

After the Turkish military deployed in Istanbul and Ankara, the government apparently blocked social media in response to what was being reported as an attempted coup. Turkey Blocks, a Twitter account that regularly checks if sites are being blocked in the country, reported that Facebook, Twitter and YouTube were all unresponsive, though Instagram and Vimeo remained available.
