This thesis investigates the amendments of the Law on the Arrangement of Internet Publication and Combating Crimes Committed Through These Publications regarding its impact on the public sphere in Turkey, and explores the importance of the political background in which one analyses law. The study argues that social media is the last free public sphere in Turkey and analyses how the law aims to attack this sphere. The study explores the government’s conceptualising the social media law through problematising the law and the significance of the social media law on the public sphere in Turkey. The shrinking of the freedom of expression in Turkey which the social media law is evident to can be conceptualised through using Jürgen Habermas’ public sphere as a theoretical framework. A post-structural policy analysis was implemented to investigate the social media’s representation as a problem by the Turkish government. This particular law was studied by the virtue of the importance of social media to the Turkish public sphere and how this will affect the critical voices. My analysis shows a strong correlation between the government’s attack on each and every public sphere; from peaceful protests to social media networks. I conclude that the law’s amendments problematise the issue in a way that it is effortless to punish critical voices.
