Blocking Decision to Be Made Within 24 Hours with the New Internet Law
With the adoption of the New Internet Law, access to content on a website can be blocked if it is considered illegal. According to the articles adopted with the new law, a website owner is obliged to remove any content found on their site that is contrary to the law. Likewise, internet service providers are obliged to store traffic information belonging to websites for at least one year. The Ministry of Telecommunications and Communication has the right to impose criminal sanctions on service providers who do not comply with these provisions. In case of blocking access to any content, the service provider must implement this decision within 24 hours.
What the New Law Brings
With the new law, it is necessary to be careful when producing content. It would be correct to not forget that there are criminal sanctions for producing content that is contrary to the law and to produce content within this framework. Social sharing sites such as Facebook and Twitter, in addition to websites, should also be selective in the content they publish.
