Social media warnings: Bans alone are not enough
Following operations aimed at protecting children, experts emphasize that comprehensive awareness-raising is vital alongside bans.
Evaluating operations targeting inappropriate broadcasts on TikTok and other social media platforms, Dr. Yusuf Kartal stated that bans alone are not a solution for safely protecting children in the digital world, and awareness-raising efforts are essential.
Warnings Following the Operations
Following the inappropriate broadcasts detected on social media platforms, operations had been carried out by authorities. Immediately after these steps were taken, experts shared their assessments on the issue with the public.
Inadequacy of Bans
Dr. Yusuf Kartal clearly stated that simply imposing bans does not provide a permanent and sufficient solution in terms of protecting children from harmful content and environments on digital platforms.
Importance of Awareness-Raising Efforts
Arguing that children's digital literacy and awareness levels need to be increased, the expert underlined that implementing effective education and awareness-raising activities beyond bans is a must.
