Just curious.
Well, of course the EU has the GDPR and California has the CCPA.
My country, Türkiye, has the KVKK. (The Turkish Data Protection Law/Authority)
Does your country have something similar to this?

    • Current government of Turkey carelessly bans websites without any consideration. (youtube, Wikipedia, twitter were all banned or blocked at times. Are they accessible now?)
    • Jails people for using encrypted apps or criticizing the government on social media.
    • iirc it’s the country with the highest number of jailed journalists (or was it the second?)

    so, what the heck does KVKK do? It protects who from who?

      Yeah it’s kind of useless. The apps you listed are available, but for example Newgrounds is banned.

      IDK about the second thing about the encrypted apps, but I would expect them to do it. But some people have been jailed for criticizing Erdogan.

      and IDK what place Turkey is, but yeah it has a very high number.

      Erdogan pls don’t put me in jail
