ISTANBUL (Reuters) – Facebook Inc said on Monday it had started the process of appointing a legal entity as a local representative in Turkey in compliance with a new social media law which critics have said will muzzle dissent.<\/p>\n

The law allows authorities to remove content from platforms, rather than blocking access as they did in the past. The move has caused concern as people turn more to online platforms after Ankara tightened its grip on mainstream media.<\/p>\n

The company said its decision did not change its community standards, which outline what is and what is not allowed on Facebook, nor its process for reviewing government requests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will withdraw the representative if we face pressure on either,\u201d the company said in a statement, adding that it remains committed to maintaining free expression and other human rights in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Other companies have also appointed representatives in line with the recently amended Internet law. YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc\u2019s Google, said a month ago it had taken such a decision..<\/p>\n

In previous months Facebook, YouTube and Twitter had faced fines in Turkey for not complying with the law.<\/p>\n

Companies that do not follow the law will ultimately have their bandwidth slashed by 90%, essentially blocking access.<\/p>\n

Twitter said in a report this month that Turkey, which has historically been responsible for the highest number of content removal requests, ranked fourth in the first half of last year, accounting for 10% of all global legal demands.<\/p>\n
