You don’t seem to understand how the legal system and governments work.

I am not a lawyer but I do understand how jurisdictions work. Elon is not in theirs.

Failure to do so would result in severe consequences for X, such as having to take X offline for all of Turkey.

If he were a "free speech absolutist" as he claims, he would let them.

You didn't answer my question.

Elon isn’t. X is.

I did answer your question. Last paragraph.

X is.

No it is not. Twitter is a US company with US servers. If you want to argue that the US is now a territory of Turkey, please cite a source.

I did answer your question.

No you didn't.

X operates in Turkey by giving Turkish users access to the site. They either follow Turkish law or they don’t serve Turkish residents.

They can of course fight any legal requests by the Turkish government - and oh look! They are!
