The printing press, which was started to be used by the Muslim people in the Ottoman Empireduring the Tulip Period, became a widely used invention in the 19th century. Parallel to this, therewas a serious increase in the number of prints in the Ottoman Empire. In the event that printingbecame widespread in the country, the emergence of harmful, malicious, negative, unrealisticpublications was inevitable and led to the idea that control was necessary for the state. Because,according to the opinion of the administration, many publications such as negative publicationsagainst the state and those containing attacks on Islam were confusing the public. In the 19thcentury, these publications were published not only in Anatolia but also in Egypt. It is seen that inEgypt, which was a privileged province of the Ottoman Empire, separatists broadcast this kind ofharmful publications. Censorship has been implemented by the state in this regard, and moreserious measures have been taken when deemed necessary. Accordingly, the state has established legal and institutional bases to control the press and broadcasting process. These legal groundsand institutions were constantly renewed over time when new problems emerged. The obscenebroadcasters have been in an effort to bring these broadcasts to the country by different methods,despite all the measures of the state. The state had to destroy these publications.
