Thank you, Ogan. But still: for a proper data retention scheme, like the one the EU was after with its Directive 2006/24/EC, a lot of changes would have to be done on the hardwareside, too. The European Internet Provder's protested against the Directive amongst other things because of rising costs for them to provide such storage capacities. Can we expect this from Turkish providers now, too?
Or will all the data be stored at some state organisation?
And then: what are the storage durations? You can just not store everything without limit in duration.
And finally: what is it precisely that is being stored? Mobile phone meta-data, classic internet traffic, etc.? A law itself does not implement these capacities.
Finally, who has access to this data under which conditions? Although the answer to this question by studying the bill and its implementation documents does not tell much about the practice to expect.

I think you could safely say that everyone is watched for any reason on all their devices regardless of the reasonable decision to obtain court orders for shutting down web sites.
See this website for a list of the documented 50,918 sites that have been shut already (but by the time you check it out, that number may have increased). http://engelliweb.com I hope that helps,
But don't take my word. Here is a quote from Turkish Internet Rights activists Yaman Akdeniz and Kerem Altiparmak. "“Between May 2007 and July 2014 Turkey blocked access to approximately 48,000 websites,” based on a recently updated law. Akdeniz and Altiparmak added that “Although the law is ostensibly aimed to protect children from harmful content, from the very beginning it has been used to prevent adults’ access to information.” It came from a Forbes web site. And here is a website they manage: http://privacy.cyber-rights.org.tr Also a link to more information by someone who was covering the Internet Governance Forum in Istanbul that was held this month: http://www.dw.de/turkey-faces-criticism-as-host-of-the-internet-governance-f...

Hi,
so Turkey passed a bill to shut down websites without court orders. This is what makes the headlines:
http://online.wsj.com/articles/turkey-tightens-grip-over-the-internet-141027...
But the news also state that data of users will be retained. Has anyone on this list futher details about this Turkish data retention scheme?
