Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Peri Pamir, a Turkish woman, was convicted twice for sharing a Guardian article about a British woman killed fighting with Kurdish forces in Syria.

Pamir received a suspended sentence and five years of probation for “spreading propaganda for a terrorist organization.”

Despite her appeal, she received the same sentence in a retrial.

We're probably going to be seeing articles like this coming from the US in a few years. Probably.

Take notes

I was in a business trip in Turkey at an international company. During lunch I learned from a well-educated investor relations manager, how much problem the CIA and their terrorist organization Güllen has caused the country, leading to eg. high inflation.

Edit: not sure why the downvotes, this is how many Turkish people think (by their own or due to propaganda). That’s why they have laws like this
