Minister Göktaş shared a video on his social media account in which he answered questions regarding social media regulation for children. In his post, Göktaş said, “Let’s state it clearly once again. We are implementing regulations that secure our children and protect our future generations.

We want to dominate a digital ecosystem where our children can navigate safely and move forward safely into the future. “We will continue to take strategic steps towards this goal and work determinedly for our only children.”

“THIS IS NOT A BAN, IT IS A REGULATION”

In the video, “How far is the ban? Can’t we educate our children instead?” Göktaş answered the question: “This is not a ban, it is a regulation. Of course, we should provide education. We need to provide it to the whole society. We already have education programs for adults. Just as we give traffic education to our children but also put a lamp on, it is the same. Ultimately, social media should also have a traffic light.” he replied.
“So will children never be able to access the internet?” On the question, Göktaş said: “Of course, it will be on the internet. Our aim here is to bring a limitation and regulation to the platforms where foreigners can access our children. Ultimately, our children will be able to do their research and access the internet. Our aim is to bring a regulation to these companies, which earn billions of dollars especially through our children.”

Social media should also have a traffic light…

Let’s state it clearly once again: We are implementing regulations that secure our children and protect our future generations.

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek met with the deputies of the provinces of the Southeastern Anatolia Region at a consultation meeting at Ankara Judge’s House. Minister Gürlek stated that he personally went to Diyarbakır regarding the ‘Terror-Free Türkiye’ process and said that the process had a very positive reflection on the field. Minister Gürlek stated that 81 provincial chief public prosecutors’ offices are continuing their work on the fight against illegal betting and that they are considering a regulation to make illegal betting a crime.

“WE STARTED A NEW APPLICATION FOR PEOPLE CONVICTED FOR DRUG DRUGS”

Minister Gürlek also touched upon the fight against drugs and said that Türkiye has the heaviest penalties on this issue, but simply increasing the penalty is not enough. Stating that they have started a new practice for people convicted of drug crimes in 6 prisons, Minister Gürlek said, “In other words, after the treatment process is completed and the Administrative Observation Board gives a positive report, they will go out. In other words, they will leave the drugs inside and come out clean. We attach importance to rehabilitation, we are also working on this issue.”

Unsolved murders: WE ESTABLISHED A TEAM ON THESE

Stating that they also attach importance to the solution of unsolved murders, Minister Gürlek said, “There are cases that remain in between, whether they are murders or suicides. We look at such files with a different perspective. There are definitely events that create such awareness in your region about these. There are events that people say ‘This case should be solved’. We have established a team to deal with these. Our team members are all experienced.”

Minister Gürlek stated that they do not have the authority to directly intervene in these files, but the deficiencies are being examined.

Grok, the artificial intelligence robot developed by US billionaire Elon Musk’s xAI company, has caused a new scandal. A phrase used by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in his speech at the AK Party Group Meeting held today was completely misinterpreted by Grok to the world public.

TRANSLATION DISGRACE FROM GROK

Reacting to CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, President Erdoğan said, “The old Türkiye no longer exists, you will burn as much land as you can…”. Erdoğan’s statement, “You can burn as much space as you can”, which means “You can do as much work as your capacity and sphere of influence”, was taken out of context by Grok. By misinterpreting the word origins and idiomatic structure, the artificial intelligence translated the text into English with a sentence that contained heavy slang and turned it into a sexually explicit insult.

REACTIONS ARE RAINING ON SOCIAL MEDIA

After the translation error was noticed, social media users reacted harshly to the situation. Users with the translation feature turned on continue to read Erdoğan’s post in an offensive language that is completely far from its original meaning, contrary to diplomatic courtesy.

In his post on his NSosyal account, Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi stated that they visited the Athens Embassy within the scope of their contacts in Athens and received information about the work from Türkiye’s Ambassador to Athens Çağatay Erciyes.

Çiftçi shared that they held a Tripartite Mechanism Meeting and held separate meetings with Greek Minister of Immigration and Asylum Thanos Plevris and Bulgarian Minister of Internal Affairs Emil Dechev, and said:

HERE ARE THE TOPICS CONSIDERED

“We comprehensively discussed the topics of irregular migration, border security, organized crime, drug trafficking and the fight against terrorism. We emphasized the need to end pushbacks, strengthen the common approach based on human life and advance regional cooperation. We drew attention to the importance of increasing instant information sharing in the fight against crime, extradition of fugitives and a common, determined stance against criminal organizations. As Turkey, we will strengthen our constructive and result-oriented cooperation with our neighbors and resolutely pursue our policies that protect human life and are based on public order.” We will continue.”
