PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN MADE CLEAR MESSAGES AT THE TRT WORLD FORUM
President Erdogan delivered a speech at the recently attended Global TRT Forum and drew attention to the lack of control on social media. President Erdogan had stated that the lack of control on social media led to fascism.
President Erdogan used the following statements:
Technology, like everything else in life, exists to facilitate human life. Digitization, which sees people as a whole with their material and spiritual existence, will bring good results for all of us. However, when it is perceived as an area outside the law, where there is no control, open to arbitrariness, digitization will lead us to fascism. Therefore, digitization should not lead to new injustices, injustices and new marginalization while expanding the scope of freedom. Unlimited freedom creates a completely uncontrolled area under this title, causing new grievances.
This situation, in which even the current legal system is sometimes insufficient, opens the door to psychological and social problems, especially cyberbullying. Victims often do not find an interlocutor to present their complaints or a legal means to claim their rights. The name of an order in which the perpetrator of evil and the perpetrator of crime get their way cannot be called freedom. The well-intentioned steps that states have taken to protect their citizens are intended to leave the supports for the intervention of freedoms. It is a time in Turkey to express the injustices that occurred on this issue, no one. We emphasize that no company is above the law. With a legal regulation that came into effect in recent months, we made it mandatory for social media companies to have representatives in our country. In doing so, we act considering the freedom-security balance within the framework of the authority granted to us by international law. Our goal is to protect our citizens, especially our children, who are more vulnerable than adults. Our hope is that these institutions, which are considered outside the law, will voluntarily support the well-intentioned efforts of our country. Otherwise, Turkey will continue to protect the law of citizens in all circumstances.

Existing contracts will continue, the provider will not be able to enter into a new advertising contract. In the event that the provider has not yet appointed a representative, the Information Technology Authority (BTK) will apply to the Criminal Peace Court. The court may impose a 50 percent band reduction penalty in the first stage. If the judges’ demands are not met within thirty days, a 90 percent band reduction penalty may be imposed.
The decisions of the judges in question will be sent to BTK to be notified to the access providers.
