WhatsApp and Meta, formerly known as Facebook, have recently been fined a whopping amount of 2 million 665 thousand liras in Turkey. It was found that both companies violated the law by not appointing a representative in the country, which is mandatory according to Turkish legislation.

The Personal Data Protection Board (KVKK) of Turkey issued the fine to both WhatsApp and Meta. The decision came after both companies failed to comply with the KVKK’s order, which was issued earlier this year, to appoint representatives accountable for processing personal data in Turkey.

WhatsApp and Meta have faced backlash from numerous countries, and Turkey is no exception. The data protection laws of the country, introduced in 2016, require companies that process the personal data of Turkish citizens to employ a representative in the country.

This decision by Turkish authorities aims to protect the privacy of Turkish citizens and to ensure the safety of their personal data. The appointment of a representative would make it possible for any complaints or concerns to be handled in a more efficient manner, providing legal assistance to Turkish authorities in case of any data breach or privacy violations.

The two companies, WhatsApp and Meta, are among the most popular and widely used social media applications in Turkey. It’s therefore surprising that they have overlooked local regulations and further disrespectful that they have failed to appoint a representative, even after repeated notices from KVKK.

It’s worth noting that the fine amount is significant but still a trivial sum for technology giants like Meta and WhatsApp. This decision should set an example for companies operating in Turkey, and the fine amount should be increased as high as possible to deter any similar breaches in the future.

In conclusion, the hefty fine imposed by Turkish authorities on WhatsApp and Meta highlights the importance of local regulations and the need to comply with them. Application of the law is essential in protecting the privacy of citizens, and companies should be held accountable for breaches of data protection regulations. The future will reveal whether this decision will be a warning to the technological giants in Turkey, or become another challenge that companies would not take seriously.
