I am surprised that even Tiktok did not comply with the new law. Let’s see what happens next…
Turkey on Nov. 4 fined Facebook, Twitter and three other social media companies for failing to appoint a country representative under a controversial law which came into force last month.
No social media platform other than Russian social site Vkontakte has so far appointed a local representative in Turkey, leading cyber rights expert Yaman Akdeniz said on Nov. 2.
“The deadline for social network providers to open a representative office [in Turkey] expired today. Let’s evaluate what will happen. I start with a new piece of news: Russian social media platform VK – VKontakte has appointed a legal representative in Turkey. Other than that, there is no other [platform] that has appointed a representative,” Akdeniz wrote on Twitter.
