Information Technologies and Communications Institution (BTK), made an important decision that night. The institution banned advertising on Twitter, the world’s largest microblogging platform. In the statement made on the matter, all taxpayers have made the decision natural and legal persons reported to be affected.

We have readers who remember; long ago”social media law“. According to this law, we are actively working in Turkey. service provider social media platforms would appoint a representative in our country. According to the ICTA statement, Twitter did not comply with this obligation. In that case, the law worked and he was on Twitter. advertising is prohibited.

The decision of the BTK published in the Staatsblad reads as follows:

Former title Twitter, Inc. The X Corp. (Twitter) it has been decided to ban new advertisements from real and legal persons who are taxpayers and residents of Turkey, in accordance with the second paragraph of the Supplementary Article 4 and the Provisional Article 6 of Law No. 5651 on the Regulation of Broadcasting on the Internet and Combating Crimes Committed through These Broadcasts.

Published in the Official Gazette number 39225 BTK decision does not mean much to the end user. The change that Twitter users will notice is that only ads from local businesses will not appear. Because taxpayers, as before on Twitter they can’t advertise. We see that Elon Musk and Twitter are silent on the subject. Let’s see what will happen in the next process.
