Identity Verification Era on Social Media: New Regulation Against Fake Accounts

New Measures Against Disinformation A new regulation planned to take effect this year aims to prevent disinformation and criminal content in the digital environment.
Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek announced that an identity and phone verification system will be implemented to curb the use of anonymous and fake accounts on social media platforms.
Demands from Families Shape the Policy Minister Gürlek stated that this step was shaped by intense demand and support from families.
One of the primary goals of the regulation is to protect children from risks in the digital environment and to create strong awareness among parents.
Child Development and Digital Safety Minister of Family and Social Services Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş also commented on the issue, drawing attention to the harms of uncontrolled internet use.
Göktaş emphasized that children's attention spans have decreased by at least 30 percent in the last 10 years, negatively affecting learning processes, and stressed that safe internet access is of vital importance.
Legal Process Reaches Final Stage It has been reported that the legal regulation work in Turkey has reached its final stage.
The legislative proposal prepared by the AK Party group is expected to be submitted to the Office of the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly soon.
