ErdoÄŸan raised the issue when he was talking about the controversial internet law, which has drawn wide criticism and condemnation from critics and the EU, and said the government would consider shutting down popular video sharing website YouTube and social media network Facebook.
This comes as the government introduced a number of legislations curbing internet freedom, press freedom and subordinating judiciary to government through restructuring the Supreme Board of Judges and Prosecutors (HSYK), top legal body that regulates judicial affairs, including launching disciplinary inquiries to top judges and appointment of prosecutors and judges.
ErdoÄŸan's signal in a live televised interview jointly aired on A Haber and ATV late Thursday, has led to raging debates on social media, with critics expressing their concerns over the direction of the country.
Some approached to issue with satire, with journalist Aslı Aydıntaşbaş saying "Thankfully he didn't mention Twitter."
