The 2013 Gezi Park protests in Turkey saw massive amounts of censorship and disinformation by the mainstream media,[1] especially by those supporting Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Justice and Development Party (AKP).[2] A poll done by Istanbul Bilgi University in the first week of the protests showed that 84% of the demonstrators cited the lack of media coverage as a reason to join the protests, higher than the 56% of protesters who referred to the destruction of Gezi Park.[3]
