Minister of National Education talked about Instagram and Roblox!

Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin broke his silence regarding the access bans on Instagram and Roblox in a statement he made through his official X (Twitter) account. The Minister of National Education claimed that, as the ministry, they took precautions to protect against the dangers that may be encountered in the digital world and that this was the reason for the ban.

Minister of National Education spoke for the first time about Roblox and Instagram bans

As you know, at the beginning of this month, an access ban was imposed on Instagram and it was announced that the Instagram ban would continue as the negotiations did not yield results. After a few days, the online game Roblox, which is very popular especially among young people, was also banned and these access barriers became the number one agenda of the country.

Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin stated the following through his official social media account:

“In today’s digital age, the safety and healthy development of our children is more important than ever. In addition to our schools, teachers and educational environments, social media channels are also effective in the development of our children.

As the Ministry, we take various measures to protect our children from the dangers they may encounter in the digital world and to prevent digital addiction.“

Minister Tekin continued his words as follows:

In recent years, social media platforms and online games take up a large portion of our children’s time. These platforms can host content that may negatively affect the social, academic and psychological development of our students. Especially popular platforms such as Instagram and Roblox can cause our children to drift into digital addiction and encounter uncontrolled content, which we can call digital fascism.

There is no doubt that it is essential for digital media platforms to respect universal law, domestic law and our responsibilities for the future.

Let’s not forget that it is our common responsibility to protect our children from the digital fascism of social media tools. We must say stop to digital fascism together.”
