Turkish Ministry actions against social media influencers
Overview
The Turkish Ministry of Family and Social Services has taken legal action against social media influencers regarding the use of children and state services for content creation.
In one instance, a court blocked the Instagram account of influencer Özlem Öz following Ministry intervention. The Ministry reported that content involving a minor during a circumcision procedure violated the child’s privacy and bodily integrity, stating that “the best interests of the child must be observed” and that parental consent does not legalize privacy-violating posts.
In a separate matter, the Ministry filed a criminal complaint against influencer Ersan Gülmez, also known as E. D. Gülmez announced he would sell socks worn during a football match for $10,000, claiming proceeds would benefit children under state protection. The Ministry characterized the use of children and its official social media accounts to turn the event into a spectacle as unacceptable. The Ministry requested content removal and access blocking, alleging the posts could constitute “openly insulting the State of the Republic of Turkey” under the Turkish Penal Code.
