土耳其總理埃爾多安說：「現在有一種被稱為Twitter的威脅

儘管西方主流媒體對土耳其的佔領運動輕描淡寫，英文維基百科有詳盡的記載。

因缺乏主流媒體的報道，社交媒體起到了關鍵作用，其Twitter主題標籤是＃OccupyGezi和＃DirenGeziParki的（「佔領Gezi公園」）。在12個小時，從下午4點5月31日，有超過200萬的推特主題使用佔領標籤。土耳其總理埃爾多安在一次講話中說：「現在有一種被稱為Twitter的威脅，謊言最好的例子，可以在那裡找到。對我來說，社交媒體是社會的最嚴重的威脅「。 2012年十二月皮尤研究中心的研究顯示，35％的土耳其人使用社交網站。

As a result of the lack of mainstream media coverage, social media played a key role in keeping people informed, with Twitter hashtags #OccupyGezi and #DirenGeziParki ("Resist Gezi Park") being adopted. In the 12 hours from 4 pm 31 May, there were more than 2 million tweets for the 3 leading hashtags, with 88% in Turkish and 90% of geolocated tweets coming from Turkey. Erdogan said in a speech that "There is now a menace which is called Twitter. The best examples of lies can be found there. To me, social media is the worst menace to society." A December 2012 Pew Research Center study showed 35% of Turks using social networking sites.
