Online Content & Reputation

Visibility in search results and the existence of content on the source website are different matters. The desired outcome and the relevant provider need separate assessment.

The full URL, publication time, context and collection method matter. Related records and the lawful collection of evidence need separate consideration.

Full URLs of the content; Dated screenshots; Platform correspondence and requests. Organise these alongside a chronology. Agree how to share sensitive documents before the meeting.

The exact address, date and reach of the content are identified. Platform requests, personal data requests and other remedies are considered under current law and the particular circumstances.

No. A negative opinion or customer criticism is not automatically unlawful. Its factual basis, context, freedom of expression and the right concerned must be assessed together. Reputation work should not suppress lawful criticism or manufacture positive reviews.

Brand names, account details, domains and product images in lawfully accessible publications may be reviewed. Scope and recording methods are defined first, and matches require human examination in context. Unauthorised access to private accounts or bypassing access restrictions is excluded.

An account’s claimed association with a brand, its use of images or logos and the product offered may require different assessments. Platform reports, trademark claims, personality rights and any alleged offence are considered separately. A platform action does not automatically resolve every legal claim.

Trademark registration and domain registration are separate processes. A claim to a similar domain must meet the applicable dispute policy; a trademark certificate alone does not provide an automatic transfer.

The UDRP is the applicable policy. The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center is one of the providers administering complaints under it. An appointed panel decides the domain dispute.

The TRABİS dispute mechanism for .tr domains requires a separate assessment. UDRP requirements are not automatically imported: the UDRP requires bad-faith registration and use, whereas the .tr framework refers to bad-faith registration or use.

Depending on the content, a notice to the publisher, platform or hosting provider and an administrative or court application may be appropriate. Preserve the URL, publication date, screenshots and proof of rights; removal routes differ by claim.

No. Turkish Law No. 5651 distinguishes content and hosting providers and does not impose a general duty on hosts to inspect all content in advance. Duties arising from notices, decisions and the actual service model require separate assessment.

Preserve dated copies and URLs, proof of ownership, and available publisher and hosting details. Platform or host notices and intellectual-property remedies should be selected for the particular infringement; removal is not automatic.
