On May 1, 2020 a law proposal1 ("Proposal")
on social network operators and fake accounts, has been published
on the TBMM's website. The Proposal is submitted to the TBMM by
a member of parliament from Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). The
Proposal provides significant changes to the Law on Regulation of
Broadcasts via Internet and Prevention of Crimes Committed through
Such Broadcasts ("Law No. 5651"). The Proposal seems to
be an updated version of the Draft Law on the Amendment of Certain
Laws ("Draft Proposal") which was thoroughly evaluated in
our article of April 13, 20202 , considering the
similarity between two texts.
According to the current updated version of the Proposal, the
proposed provisions will be effective immediately as of their
publication.
