After the devastating earthquakes in Turkey, some people started taking investigations into the shoddy construction that led to tragedy in their own hands — and social media feeds. The public began to gather and share evidence about the condition of the buildings before and after the earthquake. This collective effort also includes the contractors of the building and court cases.
