Many dead are children.. It's a wedding. This horror reminds me of soccer stadium blasts in Iraq. Cause pain, try to provoke sectarian wars.

There are really awful images floating around from the
#Gaziantep blast. I wouldn't share them; don't see news value. Just traumatizing.3 replies 18 retweets 37 likes -

Seeing this again, sigh. Facebook, potentially YouTube, too, throttled in Turkey. Usual, counterproductive response. https://twitter.com/hasavrat/status/767116822650953733 …

two accounts on my timeline observed a total ban, not just throttling:

Severe throttling & total ban just blend into one another, no? Of all things to do at a moment like this.

even slight throttling can make users go away. (more than 3 sec delay in a page view=25% user loss)

Yes, Twitter and Facebook in Turkey get replaced by the WhatsApp rumor mill. *slow clap*

exactly, people retreat to closed, harder to monitor groups which in fact amplifies disinformation.

Where you can't spread corrections; where trusted intermediaries cannot emerge. It's insane.
