Turkey's parliament has approved legislation to tighten the government's control over the Internet by allowing it to block websites without prior judicial authorisation, official media said Friday.

The Internet legislation is the most controversial article in a so-called omnibus bill containing legislation on vastly different topics that must be passed in full before the individual items become law.

The article passed by parliament is very similar to one it approved in September 2014 but was then overturned by the constitutional court one month later.

It allows Turkey's telecommunications agency to block a website deemed to be insulting, violating the right to privacy or endangering the stability of the state.

The providers of the site have four hours to take it down and a court order is then required to validate the blocking of the site after 48 hours.

The providers of the site will face hefty fines if they fail to comply with the court orders.
