Giant social media platform X (formerly Twitter) decided to open a representative office in Turkey in order to strengthen its presence in the country. According to the statement of the Minister of Transport Abdulkadir Uraloğlu, it was stated that if the platform does not appoint a representative, it may face a band narrowing penalty.
X officially started the representation process in Turkey
According to the information provided by Uraloğlu, this step, taken to ensure communication channels in Turkey and to fulfill legal requirements, had been expected for a long time. Previously, an advertising ban was imposed on the platform in Turkey and sanctions such as bandwidth throttling penalties were brought to the agenda. However, this situation will be overcome with X’s decision to open a representative office.
In his statement, Minister Uraloğlu shared details about X’s representation process in Turkey. He stated that although the appointment of a representative has not been realized yet, they are in contact with the platform.
With social media platform X opening a representative office in Turkey, users and other stakeholders in Turkey are expected to play a more direct role in communicating with the platform. In addition, with this step, the platform is expected to comply with the legal requirements in Turkey and carry out its activities in the country in a more transparent manner.
