Turkey slaps advertising ban on Twitter, Pinterest

Turkey on Tuesday slapped advertising bans on Twitter, Periscope and Pinterest over their non-compliance with a controversial new law that requires social media platforms to appoint legal representatives in the country.
The law – which human rights and media freedom groups say amounts to censorship – forces social media companies to maintain representatives in Turkey to deal with complaints about content on their platforms.
