The Turkish government has restricted Twitter across the country, according to tech activists and users online.
Turkey's government regularly places restrictions on social media following disasters or bomb attacks, purportedly as a means of restricting disinformation.
"Access to Twitter can be done via VPN, but it is cut off after exiting the VPN," tweeted Fatih Kadir Akin, from Teknasyon Tech.
"Currently, it is one of the most important media where communication with the earthquake zone is provided. There may still be people under the rubble who can deliver a call for help, if there is an obstruction on our side, please remove it."
