Twitter Won't Open an Office in Turkey, Refusing Government Demands

Twitter will not open an office in Turkey, rejecting the Turkish government's demands to do so, forcing the company to pay taxes in the country.

A Twitter delegation is currently in Turkey to meet with government officials roughly two weeks after the country lifted the ban on the social network. Colin Crowell, Twitter's vice president and head of global public policy, said the meetings served to explain how Twitter responds to content removal requests and judicial orders and to re-establish "ties and open relations" with the government, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
