located on the wall Sourced from ANKA News Agency According to the news, Hüseyin Yayman, President of the Digital Media Commission, said exactly, “We once again call on the X platform; You will either come to Turkey or suffer the consequences. You said ‘We will open a representative office’ and you kept your word and wanted to go around the law. It changed hands, we said ‘there is a new orientation process’ and we found this reasonable, but we do not find it acceptable for X to see itself like this while all the other social networks come here and express their ideas and what they want to do in Turkey.” said. Before this, X had come to the fore with a “band narrowing” situation. For those who missed it, with the decision of the Information Technologies and Communication Authority dated July 19, 2023 and numbered 39225, a ban was imposed on advertising on platform X, which did not fulfill its obligation to determine and notify representatives. Making a statement on this issue, Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Ömer Fatih Sayan stated the following and warned: “Despite the time given and all the negotiations, X, who did not fulfill his obligation to appoint and notify a representative in accordance with the new regulation, was banned from advertising by real and legal persons who are taxpayers resident in Turkey.

In accordance with the ban, no new advertisements can be given to X, no new contracts can be established within this scope and no money transfers can be made regarding this. The expenses of the advertisements given to those who are subject to an advertising ban will be counted among the payments that are not accepted as expenses in accordance with the Income Tax Law and the discounts that are not accepted in accordance with the Corporate Tax Law. If a representative is not determined within 3 months, narrowing the bandwidth to X will be on the agenda.”
This issue came to the agenda once again last month. Again located on the wall According to the news, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that X (Twitter) has still not appointed a representative to Turkey and that they are evaluating the ‘band narrowing’ application. When asked about the advertising ban imposed on social media platform X until it opens a representative office, Uraloğlu said the following: “Still X has not appointed a representative to Turkey. A legal regulation regarding this will also be required. Our talks are still continuing. There is an advertising ban in effect. “Continuing to narrow the band is on our agenda.”
