Blogger’s approach is rather strict regarding account names, since the purpose of the existence of a blog site is the content provided by users, and users who do not serve this purpose pollute the site.

Korcan Dericioglu graduated from Baskent University law faculty in 2004 and was admitted to the Ankara Bar Association in 2005.

He is an attorney at law and a chartered Turkish patent and trademark attorney. Dericioglu leads a group that provides legal services on all IT and telecommunications law matters.
