Social media should also appoint an official representative in Turkey who will respond to requests from authorities to remove content within 48 hours. If companies do not comply, they can face fines, advertising bans and ultimately blocking.

Twitter said it remains committed to protecting the data of people in Turkey. By the way, the country’s authorities have already fined Twitter and other social networks for non-compliance with the law.

The Turkish government argues that this law is necessary to protect the rights of social media users in the country and to combat criminal activity on the Internet. But human rights activists believe that this law introduces censorship and threatens freedom of speech.

We will remind, Roskomnadzor recently slowed down the work of Twitter in Russia and requires the social network to remove the content banned in the country.
