AKP's social media policy... 'We may adopt a restrictive stance'

Evaluating the social media regulations that have come to the agenda, AKP Deputy Chairman Hüseyin Yayman made notable remarks within the framework of the planned regulations for those under 15.

EMPHASIS ON "NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE"

Yayman argued that the issue of social media has now become a national security matter for Turkey. He used the following expressions in his statement:

"We absolutely must protect children, the family, and women here. Unfortunately, there is a digital fascism."

DEFINITION OF "CENTER OF EVIL"

Describing social media as a "center of evil," Yayman listed the content he claimed is present on these platforms as follows:

"There is violence against women, prostitution, promotion of drug use, degendering, digital fascism, Islamophobia, anti-Islam sentiment, and the disregard for family and national values here."

"WE ARE VERY CLEAR ON THIS ISSUE"

Stating that they prioritize bringing social media platforms under a framework of legal and administrative regulations rather than a liberal approach, Yayman expressed their stance with these words:

"The protection of public order, the family, society, the individual, the child, and the woman is our red line. If protecting women, children, the family, and the individual is restrictive, then yes, we are very clear on this issue; we may adopt a restrictive stance."
