Twitter is facing another potential ban in Turkey, following noncompliance by the microblogging site on a current political affair involving the Turkish Intelligence Agency (MIT) and military.

Left-wing newspaper BirGun reported on the incident, claiming the military police stopped a MIT truck heading to Syria to resupply President Bashar al-Assad's regime, a claim heavily denied by Turkish officials.

The Turkish government originally asked for tweets to be deleted on the incident, but once Twitter removed the tweets the government demanded for BirGun's Twitter account to be removed from the public domain.

Facebook and Google both were forced to remove the content from the Turkish public domain as well, following a court order on Wednesday.

Twitter has not complied so far and claims to be on the side of BirGun and free speech, although the Turkish government claims the newspaper is slowing down the investigation into the police raid.

"We continue to work diligently to protect the rights of our users and preserve access for millions of Twitter users in Turkey." Said Nu Wexler, a Twitter spokesman.

It may not be as easy as that however, as Turkish officials look for a full ban on Twitter if the social network is not compliant with the government's censorship tactics.

Usually, Twitter is less easily swayed by governments than its rivals at Facebook, but it may start to hand out local bans to keep relevant inside of the country.

It does bring up the question as to how much social networks should allow governments to control the content, and where companies draw the line between government removal and outright censorship.
