Turkey’s parliament approved a bill this week that would effectively ban social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube unless those companies comply with government censorship.  Andrew O’Donohue, the co-author of a recent report on Turkey’s changing media landscape, joins us to break down what this new law means. 

Andrew O'Donohue is the Carl J. Friedrich Fellow and a PhD student in Harvard University’s Department of Government, as well as a nonresident research assistant at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
