In its 2024 App Store Transparency Report, Apple announced that a total of 17,309 applications worldwide were removed from the store in line with government requests.

TURKEY IS THE 7TH COUNTRY WITH THE MOST OBJECTIONS

Turkey drew attention by ranking high on this list. As a result of requests from Turkey, 8 applications were removed, placing the country 9th in the global rankings in this area. Furthermore, with 964 objection applications from developers, Turkey became the 7th country to object the most to application removals.

As a result of these objections, 16 applications were restored in Turkey, and Turkey rose to 5th place in the number of restored applications.

Removal requests came from the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) and the Istanbul Anadolu 1st Civil Court of Intellectual and Industrial Property Rights. While the BTK requested the removal of 7 applications, 1 application was removed by court order. Apple stated that the applications were only blocked within the jurisdiction of the requesting country and remained accessible in other regions.

The report also included information that 146,747 developer accounts were closed worldwide and more than 2 billion dollars in fraud was prevented.
