The Justice Commission of the Turkish parliament approved social media bill.<\/p>\n
The bill sets a formal definition of social media providers and aims to designate a responsible representative for investigations and legal proceedings relating to offenses on platforms.<\/p>\n
It defines real or legal entities, who allow users to create, monitor or share online contents such as text, visual, voice and location for social interaction, as social network providers.<\/p>\n
Foreign-based social network providers that have more than 1 million daily visitors in Turkey will assign at least one representative in the country. This person\u2019s contact information will be included in the website in a way that is obvious and easy to access.<\/p>\n
If representative of the provider will be a real entity, not a legal one, it has to be a Turkish citizen.<\/p>\n
Social network providers would have 48 hours to respond to orders to remove offensive content.<\/p>\n
Providers will also take necessary measures to store data on users in Turkey inside the country.<\/p>\n
Administrative fines for providers who fail to meet obligations would be raised to encourage compliance. Previously, fines were between 10,000 -1 00,000 Turkish lira ($1,500 – $15,000), but the amount would now be between 1 million – 10 million lira ($146,165 – $1,461,650).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
