My adobe stock portfolio is not visible on Turkey
Some of my content contains traditional content that Turkish customers would buy.
Also, I connect to my account from Turkey.
Can someone help me how can I make myself visible in Turkey?
It also appears in other countries. It doesn't just appear in Turkey.

Thanks for your helps.

    Turkey is a restricted country. Turkish customers can only see and buy a subset of the Adobe stock database. Happily for you, there is a huge Turkish diaspora worldwide, so your assets may visible for them. There is no way around that.

      As we have said many times, the hiding of certain stock images in Turkey is due to the country’s restrictions. Turkey is considered a restricted country, so assets can’t be bought from Turkey and other restricted countries. However, these assets can be sold to the rest of the world.

        This is against human rights. I couldn't download simple feather image. Restrictions for this image, really?

        That has nothing to do with human rights. This is a restriction tha Adobe faces in several countries, and the price for doing business in those countries is to restrict the assets, those people can buy. My assets also are hidden before Turkish customers. I have indeed only 3 assets open for sale in your region. 

         

        A company restricting access to something they sell in certain countries is not a human rights issue. I agree, that it is unnerving. But I really suppose that Adobe's legal department was issuing guidance here, and based on local laws Adobe needs to hide certain assets. To decide, which assets to hide, they will need to go through each portfolio, and decide on a one by one basis, if an asset is safe for sale in the "restricted" countries. That takes time and resources, so it's a slow process.
