It's not just here. It seems like a common sentiment in a lot of places. It's confusing to me as well. There's a direct line in my mind from calls for social media to be self-regulate or be regulated (interestingly in different ways from conservatives and liberals), to these kinds of comments from Erdogan. It might be causal, it might just create a cultural context, but it's hard not to conclude that echoing calls for regulation of social media in the US aren't being coopted or leveraged in this case in a way that's very predictable.
