Access to the Instagram account of social media influencer Mükremin Gezgin has been blocked at the request of the Ministry of Family and Social Services. The closure of Gezgin's account, who was released just 2 days ago, drew attention, and the decision came immediately after the access block imposed on Dilan Polat's account. These developments have sparked comments such as "The Ministry of Family is cleaning up social media."
Another access block decision has been added for social media influencers. Upon the request of the Ministry of Family and Social Services, influencer Mükremin Gezgin's Instagram account has been blocked from access in Turkey. The decision came shortly after the access block imposed on Dilan Polat's Instagram account.
ACCESS BLOCK 2 DAYS AFTER RELEASE
The timing of the decision drew attention. Mükremin Gezgin, who was arrested as part of the investigation that sparked widespread public reaction and spent about 4 months in prison, was released on June 5.
Just two days after his release, the access block on Gezgin's social media account also resonated widely on social media.
HIS LAWYER HAD ANNOUNCED THE RELEASE DECISION
Following Gezgin's release, his lawyer stated in a statement that they were pleased with the release decision regarding his client and would continue to meticulously follow the legal process.
DILAN POLAT'S ACCOUNT WAS ALSO BLOCKED
The Ministry of Family and Social Services had also requested an access block on Dilan Polat's Instagram account due to the live broadcast she made after Can Polat was shot.
Ankara Criminal Judgeship of Peace, citing the protection of public order and general health, decided to impose an access block on Dilan Polat's Instagram account, which has 6.3 million followers, and after the technical process was completed, the account was blocked from access in Turkey.
