Recently, the decision to block access to Fatih Altaylı's YouTube channel has reignited discussions about freedom of expression in Turkey.

Prof. Dr. Yaman Akdeniz from Bilgi University stated that this decision ignores previous rulings by the Constitutional Court. Altaylı's channel was blocked on August 7 on the grounds of 'national security'.

Akdeniz emphasized that the decision is disproportionate and arbitrary, constituting a severe intervention in freedom of expression. This situation poses a serious problem for media control in Turkey.

Fatih Altaylı stated in his YouTube channel that such bans are solely targeting him. This situation is a worrying development for media freedom in Turkey.
