The law, known as the 'disinformation law,' entered into force after being published in the Official Gazette on October 18, 2022.

The new period for all OTT service providers, which provide interpersonal electronic communications services within the scope of audio, visual, written communications provided to the end users or subscribers having internet access, independently from the operators and internet services, through a publicly available software, has started on October 18, 2022. No transition period was foreseen for the regulations concerning over-the-network service providers (known as OTT service providers), particularly the authorization obligation.

On the other hand, since secondary regulations have not yet been issued by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK), we can say that an uncertain transition period has begun in practice.
