Data published in EngelliWeb announcements and the EngelliWeb 2025 Report were cited by YENİ Party Eskişehir MP Utku Çakırözer in a speech before the Plenary of the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (TBMM), bringing the scale of digital censorship onto Parliament’s agenda.
In his speech on 7 August 2026, Çakırözer noted that the cumulative number of websites and domain names blocked from Türkiye had exceeded 1.5 million by the end of 2025. He also drew attention to decisions targeting social media accounts, bandwidth throttling and the damage caused to public memory by rendering online news archives inaccessible.
Citing restrictions targeting Ekrem İmamoğlu’s accounts, journalists and the accounts of the “İstanbul Yargılıyor” platform, Çakırözer called for a parliamentary inquiry commission to investigate the effects of digital censorship. Further details of the data cited in the speech are available in the EngelliWeb 2025 Report.
