    Thanks for pointing this out!

    This article is terrible too though. The entire article is a tweet clarifying that the judgment doesn’t represent the official government position and then… random, unnamed Twitter users talking shit. The subheading is a quote from “social media user” (a well-known authority on such matters!). I can’t find the original comment. They don’t link to any of these comments. I wonder why!

    The second quote, attributed to “one Kenyan user” (though it’s just a pro-Palestinain/anti-Israeli account), is a post with 150 views and 10 likes. The final quote, by “another”, is from a post that has 25 views and zero likes. They’ve really got their finger on the pulse!

    They’re just finding randos to feed you the story Erdogan wants to tell you. Tellingly, Pakistani and Iranian propaganda channels are also quoting these nobodies too.
