Turkey, a country, decided to block Instagram, an app where people can share pictures and messages, because they thought Instagram was not letting people send messages of sadness for the death of a leader of a group called Hamas. This leader's name was Ismail Haniyeh. The leader was killed in Iran, another country, and the leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, ordered an attack on Israel, the country that has been fighting with Hamas, because of this. This has made the fighting between Israel and Hamas more intense. Turkey said that Instagram needs to follow their laws and if they do, they will allow the app to be used again. This is not the first time Turkey has had problems with apps from a big company called Meta, which owns Instagram. Read from source...
