SAN FRANCISCO -- Twitter said it is looking into reports that its service has been blocked in Turkey.
The company published a message on its service Thursday telling users in Turkey that they could send Tweets using mobile phone text messaging.
Twitters [MENTION=29492]pol[/MENTION]icy account told Turkish users in both English and Turkish that they could tweet using short message service or SMS. Users in Turkey, who number 12 million, have been using various methods to get around the reported ban.
A person familiar with the situation but not authorized to discuss it publicly said Twitter has seen a "significant decrease" in traffic from Turkey.
The apparent ban came hours after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to wipe out the social media network ahead of local elections this month.
