Turkey blocked access to at least 147 more X accounts that shared content about ​the country's fund crisis, internet censorship monitoring ‌initiative EngelliWeb said on Wednesday, Reuters reports.

EngelliWeb, a project of the Freedom of Expression Association, said the affected accounts included people ​working in finance and capital markets, economists, ​academics, technical analysts, traders, investors and lawyers, with ⁠a combined following of around 2.65 million users.

Neither ​X nor Turkey's justice ministry immediately responded to ​requests for comment.
The latest restrictions come after a series of access blocks targeting accounts commenting on developments surrounding the fund ​sector, which has been at the centre of market ​upheaval this month.

Earlier this week, EngelliWeb said some 150 X ‌accounts, ⁠including those of journalists, online news outlets and the co-founder of the association Yaman Akdeniz were blocked on the grounds of protecting national security and ​public order.

There ​was no ⁠comment on EngelliWeb's statement from X or the government.

Turkey's fund crisis erupted after suspected ​price manipulation in a number of thinly ​traded ⁠stocks triggered heavy losses and redemption pressures at investment funds.

Authorities have ordered the liquidation of more than ⁠100 ​funds with combined assets of $20 ​billion. Nearly half a million investors hold stakes in the funds.
