Topic: RTUK
RTUK, Turkey’s media watchdog, plays a significant role in enforcing censorship and suppressing free speech in the country. Under the guise of protecting national values, it has facilitated the jailing of journalists and the silencing of dissenting voices, while also pressuring platforms like Netflix to conform to government standards. This ongoing crackdown on expression raises serious concerns for individual liberties and the right to privacy in Turkey.
