TURKEY PASSES LAW EXTENDING PRESS CONTROLS TO INTERNET
TURKEY PASSES LAW EXTENDING PRESS CONTROLS TO INTERNET
The Turkish parliament has passed a law that subjects the
Internet to the same restrictions as print media. The law
provides for fines of up to $85,000 for Web sites that
publish untrue news, insults and similar material. The
country also decided to scrap controversial plans to require
official permission to set up a Web site.
