In recent days, Russia has been on the agenda with access bans on digital platforms. Russia, which first blocked access to the popular communication application Discord, has now added Steam, one of the world’s largest gaming platforms, to the list of banned sites. Well, will Steam also be banned in Türkiye? Details are in our news…
Discord and Steam banned in Russia: Is there concern for Türkiye?
Although the exact reasons behind Russia’s decisions are unclear, the country’s internet control has been tightened. Following the banning of Discord, users were concerned that the Russian government would introduce a broader banning policy against gaming and communication platforms.
These concerns have been realized with the banning of Steam. The bans came as a huge shock to millions of Russian gamers, as Steam is not only a platform for buying and playing games, but also a space for gamers to socialize and build community.
In Türkiye, it is being debated whether there is a risk of a similar ban for Steam. Fortunately, it states that there is currently no demand or work in this direction. However, the developments in Russia have also raised concerns among Turkish gamers.
Türkiye has also blocked access to some digital platforms in the past. For this reason, there is concern that a similar situation could happen again. What do you think about this? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
