The institutional move is not only censorship by another route; it is state capacity building inside the identity layer of the web. Turkey's draft takes a geopolitical idea often discussed through chips, cloud, and model access and applies it to the user account itself. That gives Ankara a cleaner pipeline between citizenship, online speech, and machine-readable social data, which is why the rule belongs in the AI sovereignty story rather than only the platform governance file.
