Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş delivered a presentation to senior party officials focusing what she described as the harmful effects of digital platforms on youths. Some MKYK members suggested creating a structure similar to Turkey’s broadcasting watchdog, the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK), but focused specifically on social media and digital platforms. Supporters said the new body could serve as an oversight authority for “digital media” and help combat content they claim targets children and threatens social values. Social media remains one of the few spaces where opposition voices can still reach large audiences in the country, in which 90 percent of the media is controlled by the government, according to Reporters without Borders (RSF). Turkey was ranked the lowest-scoring country in Europe for online freedoms, according to a 2025 report from the Washington-based Freedom House.
