Özet:

 Social media is one of the most significant phenomena of our time. Today, more than 60 of individuals between the ages of 16 and 64 are social media users, and this percentage continues to grow steadily. As the number of users increases, the revenues generated by social media accountsboth from social network providers and from advertisershave reached substantial levels. Consequently, social media names have come to represent independent economic value. According to the Turkish Commercial Code TCC, in addition to cash and in-kind capital contributions, values such as electronic platforms, domains, names, and signs may also be contributed as capital to companies. However, such contributions must be legitimately used, transferable, free of any limited real rights, attachments, or precautionary measures, and must be capable of valuation. The ownership of social media names pledged as capital will be transferred to the company at the moment the legal entity is established. However, to ensure effective control over these assets, the relevant usernames and passwords must also be delivered to the company.

 Sosyal medya günümüzün önemli fenomenlerinden biridir. Günümüzde 16-64 yaş arası kişilerin 60tan fazlası sosyal medya kullanıcısı olup bu oran her geçen gün artmaktadır. Kullanıcı sayısının artmasıyla birlikte sosyal medya hesaplarının hem sosyal ağ sağlayıcıdan ve hem de kendilerine reklam verenlerden elde ettikleri gelirler de önemli seviyelere ulaşmıştır. Bu nedenle sosyal medya adları kendi başına bir değer ifade eder hale gelmiştir. Türkiyede TTKya göre nakdi ve ayni sermayenin yanında elektronik ortamlar, alanlar, adlar ve işaretler gibi değerlerin de şirketlere sermaye olarak konulması mümkündür. Ancak bunlar haklı olarak kullanılan, devredilebilir, üzerinde sınırlı bir ayni hak, haciz ve tedbir bulunmayan, değerlenebilir nitelikte olmak zorundadır. Şirkete sermaye olarak konulması taahhüt edilen sosyal medya adlarının mülkiyeti, şirket tüzel kişiliğinin kurulduğu anda şirkete geçecektir. Ancak bunlar üzerindeki fiili hakimiyetin sağlanması için kullanıcı adı ve şifrelerinin teslim edilmesi gerekmektedir.
