Apple music ban in Turkey

Recently, both apple music and spotify has banned a group called grup yorum, which has produced local songs in many languages since 20 years. But the oppressive turkish government is clearly against any song that promotes freedom and both am and spotify is collaborating with oppressors. We pay a monthly fee for these subscriptions and demand our basic rights. Please return their albums again and stop collabing with oppressors and enemies of freedom.

  1. This is a user to user forum, you are not addressing Apple here. We cannot do anything to return that music to the stores.
  2. Apple and I'm pretty sure Spotify too, need to comply with the rules imposed by the local government if they wish to do business there. It's very likely if they do not remove the song, the government will simply shut them down, so you would not have access to either service at all in that case.
  3. Apple is not here to fight your oppressive government for you. You need to do that yourself and have a government that does not censor artists.
