Two Turkish academics have appealed a court order that allowed authorities to block access to Twitter and YouTube for several hours this week, a crackdown they say reflects the country's growing authoritarianism.

Turkey has taken a tough stance on social media under President Tayyip Erdogan and the ruling AK Party he founded. It temporarily banned both sites last year in a bid to prevent the circulation of leaked recordings during a corruption scandal.

The government has also introduced legislation making it easier for such bans to be imposed.

In the second half of 2014, Turkey filed more than five times the number of content-removal requests to Twitter than any other country, data from the micro-blogging company shows.

Both Twitter and video-sharing service YouTube were inaccessible for hours on Monday after a Turkish court ordered the removal of images of a prosecutor held at gunpoint by far-left militants.

Facebook said it had complied with the court order and appeared to have avoided the ban. Representatives of both Twitter and Facebook have said they would launch an appeal.

Ankara University law professor Kerem Altiparmak said he and another legal academic, Yaman Akdeniz, had filed an appeal to challenge the restriction in Turkish courts.

"It does not matter that the ban is lifted now. We think it is against the law and are appealing," he said, vowing to take the case to the European Court of Human Rights if necessary.
