Turkish Law No. 5651 and the EU Digital Services Act use different roles, territorial tests and duties; liability follows the service actually provided, not merely its contractual label.
Identify the service role
A content provider, host, access provider and marketplace platform do not have identical duties. Examine who selects, changes, ranks or stores content and who operates the complaints process.
Notices and orders under Law 5651
The route for removal or access restriction depends on the alleged violation, competent authority and current case law. Preserve the exact URL, publication time, target and requested remedy rather than relying on outdated automatic procedures.
When the DSA may apply
The DSA creates layered duties for intermediary services offered to recipients in the EU. A foreign-language page alone is not decisive; EU market direction, establishment, service type and relevant thresholds must be assessed.
Preserve the complaint trail
Notice, statement of reasons, internal appeal and regulatory or judicial action are distinct steps. Platform removal does not itself establish damages or criminal liability, so content and filing records should be preserved first.
Relevant legislation and official sources
General legal information. Applicable law, jurisdiction, deadlines and remedies depend on the facts and current official texts; no outcome is guaranteed.
Content is for general information and is not personal legal advice. Contact alone does not establish a lawyer-client relationship.
