Access Providers Association
The APA was established to conduct the implementation of deci-
sions to block access to content, which are out of the scope of Article
8 of Law No. 5651. It is comprised of all authorized Internet service
providers and other operators providing access services and its goal is
maintaining coordination. The APA earns income from fees paid by its
members. Also, membership to the APA is stipulated as an obligatory
condition for all Internet providers who wish to provide services.
Conclusion
Pursuant to the amendments to Law No. 5651, new procedures on
the removal of Internet content that violates personal rights and priva-
cy, as well as new terms, are introduced. Also, the litigation process for
removing content from the Internet is shorter compared to previous
legislation.
