Information technology law is a branch of law that covers legal relationships and disputes arising from the internet, digital platforms, information systems, and transactions conducted in electronic environments. As the use of technology in daily and commercial life increases, activities carried out in the digital environment can give rise to various legal consequences linked to different branches of law.
Nacar Law provides legal support to its individual and corporate clients in legal proceedings arising from information technology and the digital environment, taking into account the specific circumstances of each case and the relevant legislation.
The Scope of Information Technology Law
In Turkey, issues related to information technology law are not regulated by a single law. Depending on the nature of the case, various statutory provisions may apply, including, most notably, Law No. 5651 on the Regulation of Publications Made on the Internet and the Fight Against Crimes Committed Through Such Publications, Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data, the Turkish Penal Code, and the Turkish Code of Obligations.
Internet broadcasts, digital content, personal data, information systems, online transactions, and unlawful acts committed in the digital environment are among the primary topics that fall within the scope of information technology law.

Online Publications and Personal Rights
Content published on websites, social media platforms, and other online channels may, in some cases, result in violations of personal rights or other legal disputes.
The legal remedies available against online content may vary depending on the nature of the content, the platform on which it is published, and the right alleged to have been infringed. If the legal requirements are met, the removal of the content, blocking of access, or other relevant legal remedies may be considered.
In these processes, it is important to assess the legal balance between freedom of expression and the press and the protection of personal rights in the context of the specific case.
Information Systems and Digital Evidence
Certain acts directed at or carried out through information systems may also have consequences under criminal law. Acts such as unauthorized access to a system, or the alteration or destruction of data, may trigger the provisions of the Turkish Penal Code, depending on the specific circumstances of the case.
In disputes arising from information technology law, electronic records, correspondence, system logs, and other digital data may also be significant from a legal perspective. The legality of the methods used to obtain and evaluate this data must also be taken into account.
Legal Assessment of Digital Activities
Technological advancements in information technology law can give rise to new legal relationships and disputes. Activities conducted over the Internet may need to be evaluated not only in light of information technology legislation but also in conjunction with various other areas of law, such as data protection, consumer law, contract law, commercial law, and criminal law.
