Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Ömer Fatih Sayan said the following about the ban last week: had conveyed: “When it comes to Western countries, we see that social media platforms are taking precautions quickly on many issues, especially Catalogue Crimes. We have been demanding the same sensitivity and fair stance from the beginning. We want these platforms to have the same safe, clean and fair content mechanism that they offer in countries where they abide by the rules, in Turkey. This double standard applied by providers is a common problem for the whole world. Let’s remember; we said, come open representative offices in our country and prevent the rights violations of our people. They did not want to come.
They did not take the necessary steps against the crimes reported to them. We said let’s build a cleaner internet together, let our people find someone to talk to, they did some show business with some virtual offices. We prevented all these backstabbing with the changes we made in the law. We see that they are still trying to maintain the same understanding. They say, “I read what I know, I publish what I want, I don’t publish what I want.” We did not accept this, we will not accept it. We will do whatever it takes to establish a cleaner and safer social media environment that respects our values, is free of disinformation.”
