The Turkish Presidency of Communications and the Ministry of Interior have issued a ‘Social Media Guide for Civil Administrators’. This initiative is designed to establish secure, transparent, and coordinated communication for governors, district governors, and other public officials.

During a panel on ‘Public Communication in the Digital Age’, Presidency of Communications Director Burhanettin Duran highlighted that while digital platforms are essential for state-citizen interaction, they present risks such as disinformation, manipulation, and synthetic content. The guide provides a framework for managing these risks, protecting institutional reputations, and ensuring technical security for official accounts, particularly during disasters or emergencies to prevent the spread of rumors.
