Probe launched into social media misinformation

The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation into social media accounts alleged to have spread misinformation. 

Profiles accused of disseminating provocative and manipulative posts with false information were targeted, according to report by state-run TRT. 

The posts were aimed at "disrupting public order and public peace in a way that creates misleading, unrealistic and false perceptions". 

Five popular Twitter accounts were issued with arrest warrants by the prosecutor: Haber Report, DarkWeb Haber, Militer Doktrin, Muhbir (ajansmuhbir) and Solcu Gazete.
