Turkish Government Lifts Ban on Wikipedia After 2 1/2 Years

The Turkish government lifted a two-and-a-half-year ban on Wikipedia, restoring access to the online encyclopedia a month after the country’s top court ruled that blocking it was unconstitutional. Access to Wikipedia was blocked in Turkey in 2017, after the site refused to remove unflattering references to Turkey’s relationship with Syrian militants and state-sponsored terrorists.
