tǔ ěr qí土耳其jiā qiáng加强duì对wǎng luò网络nèi róng内容de的jiān guǎn监管
Turkey has designated 2025 as the 'Year of the Family.'
Recently, Turkey's broadcasting and television regulatory authority fined some major online platforms, such as Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video.
Some movies on these platforms were considered inconsistent with family values and were removed.
The government said these movies promoted unacceptable content, such as homosexuality.
Many people believe that such actions make it harder for the LGBTQ+ community to be seen.
Turkey has had similar penalties before, such as investigating cartoons and songs, believing they affect the values of children and society.
Some singers and online creators have been investigated or even banned from traveling abroad because of their performances or content.
Many worry that these measures reduce the voices of artists and women and make it harder for different voices in society to be heard.
