These studies will continue without slowing down,” he said.

If it is too detailed, your work will be restrictive, but if it remains too general, then you cannot eliminate the risks. It is an area where there are very delicate balances as far as legislation is concerned. gave his assessment.
Legal studies in the field of competition law, digital copyright and cybersecurity
AK Party Deputy Chairman İleri continued:
“In this context, there will be a study on the Competition Protection Act in the near future. It is an important proposal, especially with regard to the proper establishment and protection of competition in the operations of digital platforms. We will present it in our Parliament in the coming months.
There is a regulation on “digital copyright” that our Digital Media Commission is working on. This work is also very important for protecting the rights of content producers and creating a productive digital environment. I believe that this study will have very interesting technological dimensions. I believe that in the future, the digital copyright process can also be carried out within the framework of the blockchain.

We have presented an exemplary work. I can say that the eyes of the world have turned here. “It is going very positively. In general, we have started to enter a process in which blockchain technologies are developing much faster in Turkey.”
