From the Guardian article you cite:

Altıntaş said that despite claims by the X boss, Elon Musk, that free speech was defended on the platform, it was clear X was allowing at least 110 accounts to be blocked in Turkey, according to her records. These included journalists covering the protests, as well as feminist organisations and student groups, she added.

“There is a clear attempt to censor images and videos of the protests, and this is obviously a part of that,” she said.
