The Istanbul Governorship has imposed a ban on the public display of aid on social media. In a letter signed by Governor Davut Gül, it was emphasized that showing images of individuals receiving aid violates their personal rights. With the new regulation, aid will be distributed through commissions, and students will not be featured in photos and videos.
The Istanbul Governorship published a striking statement regarding the sharing of aid to those in need on social media. In the letter signed by Governor Davut Gül, it was requested that the exposure of individuals during aid distribution be stopped.
"IT HARMS PERSONAL RIGHTS"
In the statement, it was emphasized that the sharing of videos of some individuals receiving aid on social media has caused discomfort in the public. The statement said, "The exposure of individuals receiving aid harms personal rights and prevents the aid from being delivered in accordance with its purpose."
AIDS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED THROUGH COMMISSIONS IN SCHOOLS
According to the new regulation, aid to students will not be given directly to them. The aid will be received by a 7-member commission consisting of the school principal, vice principal, three teachers, the president of the school family association, and one member, and will be distributed through the school administration. Students will not be included in the photos and videos taken during the aid delivery.
CHILDREN IN SOCIAL SERVICE INSTITUTIONS WILL ALSO BE PROTECTED
In aid provided to children and adults in social service institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Family and Social Services, camera recording will also not be allowed. Additionally, aid such as clothing, shoes, tablets, and computers will be delivered directly to parents, not to students.
INSTRUCTION TO ALL INSTITUTIONS
Governor Gül requested that the letter be delivered to all institutions against signature, giving the instruction to "ensure that there are no disruptions in the implementation."
