Bill to ban websites without court order passes Turkey's 'Advanced Democracy'. (TZ).
A bill proposed by the [IN]Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government seeking the ability to ban websites for 24 hours without a court order upon a demand from the prime minister or a member of the Cabinet was passed by a parliamentary commission on Wednesday.
The government drafted the bill in order to give the prime minister or a relevant Cabinet minister the ability to ban a website or have specific content removed when public order or national security are at stake because delays in having to obtain a court decision to otherwise do so are “inconvenient.”
According to the bill, when there is online content that "threatens people's right to life, threatens their security or property, threatens national security and public order, poses a threat to general health or threatens people's rights and freedoms," then TİB will demand the content be removed or block the website containing it upon a request from the Prime Ministry or ministry relevant to the case, without seeking a court order.
