Report: 25 Detained in Turkey

Twenty-five people have been detained in Turkey for “spreading untrue information” via social media and provoking the massive countrywide protests, Turkish state-run media reported Wednesday. They were detained for “inciting the people to enmity and hate” (clearly, Turkish police would have a problem with Internet trolls) in the city of Izmir, Anadolu Agency reported. Thirteen more people are being sought by police. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also blamed social media for the weeklong demonstrations, saying over the weekend that Twitter is the “worst menace to society.”
