Fighting with IT Crimes • The methods used in fighting classical crimes become ineffectivewhen used to fight against IT crimes. • To fight against IT crimes; new legislation arrangement has to be made; furnishing technical substructure, qualified personnel and extensive training are needed. • To trace and collect evidence in IT crimes gets difficult. They are intentionally erased, lost or destroyed by criminals. • New methods and strategies next to classical methods are needed. • Law enforcement and juristicion need to be equipped with new technologies and their personnel trained about all new crime types.

  7. Public Awareness • Public awareness is important to keep track of new IT crimes. What “you don’t know” can hurt you. • IT crimes uprise in the societies with lack of security awareness. It is even problem for countries taken precautions. • To increase awareness, international cooperation events, studies, conferanses, publications need to emphasised. • Our New websitehttp://www.guvenliweb.org.tr describes the internet security.

  10. Internet Content Regulation • Unwanted contents like adult contents are usually produced by developed countries. • Turkey’s undesirable content production level is less than %0,9. • To fight against unwanted content and siber threats need more emphesis. • We also comply with the advices of Council of Europe in internet regulation and safer internet media, called Safer Internet Action Plan – SIAP.

  11. Internet Content Regulation • Council’s request to build internet hotlines, develop internet filtering - rating systems and increase awareness is followed closely. • Turkey implemented these actions even before Council of Europe’s recommandations. • The Law number 5651 “ To arrange the publications in internet media and fighting the crimes that are committed using these publications” took effect on 23.May.2007. • Legal infrastructure in fighting with some crimes, committed on internet was developed with this law.

  12. Law No:5651 • With this law in effect; rules for content, location, access and usage providers, and their responsibility and obligations are arranged in order to fight against internet crimes. • Content providers are responsible for all their content. Similar enforcements are in effect in Germany, France, Italy and USA. • Important to protect social and community values.

  17. Conclusion and Suggestions • Code of conducts need to be developed internationally to handle the ones coming through internet. • The providers must be sensitive for notice and takedowns.

  18. Conclusion and Suggestions • Organizations like INHOPE (http://www.inhope.org) and INACH (http://www.inach.net) that are fighting with harmful contents must be strenghtened. • Also an international method about fighting with malicious code and spam on internet also must be adopted and an international organization must be formed. • According to some international statistics, countries in higher internet usage are the ones that produce most unwanted content. Countries benefiting from Internet economy must play effective role towards Internet related problems.
