Internet censorship is violation of human rights, says Media Association

Taking away a society’s freedom of access to information is a violation of basic human rights but at the same time an offense that can never possibly work as it is always technically possible to overcome such bans, the Media Association has said.

The Media Association’s Internet committee completed a report in July on Internet censorship in Turkey that called for amending Law No. 5651, which regulates the Internet, in a manner that would support freedom of thought and expression and in accordance with the Council of Europe‘s Convention on Cybercrime.
