Summary:
They created a new office that has the authority to block any website url / domain / ip address without prior notice or court order. All ISPs are required to apply restrictions within 4 hours. Plus, all ISPs are required to log HTTP access + IP + Date pairs and store them for two years for government access (again, no court involvement)
- throwaway_yy2Di 13y agoPlus, all ISPs are required to log HTTP access + IP + Date pairs and store them for two years... So Turkey's finally getting serious about its EU candidacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive
- joering2 13y ago-1. Did you read his last sentence? Or Wiki you citing: A permission to access the information will be granted only by a court.
- dba7dba 13y agoLike a court permission means anything?
- sentenza 13y agoIt is not a secret or military court, but a civil one. And yes, we're fighting against it. Also, the European Court of Justice is currently in the process of deciding whether the data retention directive violates basic rights. From what has been heared from the court lately, things look as if the directive will be shot down at least in part.
- tobltobs 13y agoIn europe? yes.
- afsina 13y agoThis is same in Turkey.
- throwaway303030 13y agoIn the UK, a court order is not required to access data logs provided by the ISP.

Also the whole point of having Courts grant permission for stuff is to be a check on the executive and legislative's power. Whether that worked well in Turkey or not is a whole different issue. But I'm guessing they wouldn't bother to pass this law if it didn't.

- afsina 13y agoThis office (TIB) is not new at all. From what I understand, here is what really changed: Before for blocking a web site you needed a court order. Now People can contact TIB for a take down request. They immediately contact with association of ISP's and within 4 hours they take down the site. This request is also presented to Court (by TIB I think) and court has to give a verdict in 48 hours to make the take-down permanent. Otherwise after 48 hours site access will be restored. New law looks better for content protection and personal privacy cases because it is fast, but of course this power can easily be abused.
