  1. 0:00Today is perhaps the last day we can use
  2. 0:02the internet safely. Because tomorrow,
  3. 0:04that new law we've been talking about
  4. 0:06for so long arrives. A social media ban
  5. 0:08for those 15 and under. However, let's
  6. 0:10not look at this just as a social media
  7. 0:12ban for under 15s. Because tomorrow,
  8. 0:14many things will actually change, and we
  9. 0:16will all be affected by it.
  10. 0:18As for what I will tell you in this
  11. 0:20video, what statement did social media
  12. 0:22platforms make regarding this? Whose
  13. 0:24accounts will be closed? Whose will not
  14. 0:26be closed? How will we verify our social
  15. 0:29media accounts once the law takes effect
  16. 0:31? If our social media accounts are
  17. 0:33closed, will we be able to reopen them?
  18. 0:35How do similar laws work abroad, and has
  19. 0:38social media usage really decreased
  20. 0:40after these laws?
  21. 0:41And at the same time, a scam being
  22. 0:43conducted over the social media ban. Yes
  23. 0:45, scams regarding this have already
  24. 0:47started happening. After that, what will
  25. 0:49happen to social media platforms that do
  26. 0:51not comply with the rules? How will
  27. 0:53games be affected by this new law? I
  28. 0:55will tell you all about these things. As
  29. 0:57you can see, our list is quite long. So
  30. 1:00, if you are ready, let's begin. I have
  31. 1:02come to you with an excellent
  32. 1:03opportunity.
  33. 1:04Our channel's sponsor, Enaba, as
  34. 1:06Europe's largest digital store, allows
  35. 1:08you to purchase games for Steam,
  36. 1:10PlayStation, Xbox, and many other
  37. 1:12platforms quickly and cheaply.
  38. 1:14You can also buy products like Valorant
  39. 1:16VP points or cheap Minecraft accounts.
  40. 1:19The even better part is that you earn
  41. 1:21back a certain portion of every product
  42. 1:23you buy as bonus money in your wallet,
  43. 1:25and you can then use this bonus money to
  44. 1:27buy new products. Moreover, the Steam
  45. 1:29games you purchase are delivered to you
  46. 1:31as Steam Keys. What more could you want
  47. 1:32from a digital store, right? If you also
  48. 1:34want to catch good prices on your game
  49. 1:36and digital purchases, you can check out
  50. 1:38Enaba via the link in the description.
  51. 1:40First, let's look at the statements made
  52. 1:42by the platforms. First, Twitch made a
  53. 1:44statement regarding this matter. As of
  54. 1:46yesterday, users under 15 can no longer
  55. 1:49own a Twitch account. I mean, they acted
  56. 1:51a bit quickly on this. They started the
  57. 1:54implementation even before the law went
  58. 1:55into effect. Existing accounts will
  59. 1:58supposedly be closed by February 2025.
  60. 2:00That is, if no verification is done. How
  61. 2:02the verification will be done has not
  62. 2:04been announced yet. According to the
  63. 2:06government, we will be doing
  64. 2:07verification via e-Government. However,
  65. 2:09integrating this into all platforms is
  66. 2:11quite difficult. But what can we do? The
  67. 2:13system is like this now.
  68. 2:15Following this, YouTube also made a
  69. 2:17statement and said that if they are
  70. 2:19forced to, they will close the accounts
  71. 2:21of users under 15.
  72. 2:22But they don't even know themselves how
  73. 2:24they will detect this.
  74. 2:26Because a system like e-Government has
  75. 2:28never been used on YouTube before. I
  76. 2:29mean, will Turkey really be able to
  77. 2:31bring this about? This is a matter of
  78. 2:33curiosity. But if they cannot, people
  79. 2:35will probably continue to watch YouTube
  80. 2:37using a VPN. I swear, just to be safe, I
  81. 2:39have already downloaded 3 or 4 VPNs. It
  82. 2:41is clear we will need them. But as I
  83. 2:43said, YouTube will also start closing
  84. 2:45these accounts. However, the interesting
  85. 2:48part is that among social media
  86. 2:49platforms, YouTube was the only one to
  87. 2:51react to this decision. The other
  88. 2:53platforms just said they would bow to
  89. 2:55this decision by Turkey.
  90. 2:57YouTube, on the contrary, says they do
  91. 2:59not support this decision but will be
  92. 3:01forced to implement it if they have to.
  93. 3:03As for Snapchat, many of you probably
  94. 3:06don't use it anyway.
  95. 3:07However, with the announcement made by
  96. 3:09Snapchat, those under 15 will no longer
  97. 3:11be able to open new accounts as of
  98. 3:12November 1st.
  99. 3:14Those under 18 will not be able to
  100. 3:15access certain parts of the application
  101. 3:17. Their accounts will be private. They
  102. 3:19will not be able to go live or see
  103. 3:22personalized ads. March 31, 202-, is the
  104. 3:24deadline for you to verify your account
  105. 3:27. Oh, by the way, let's not forget to
  106. 3:29mention this. Let's recall the law again
  107. 3:31. If you are under 15, you cannot use
  108. 3:33social media. If you are under 18,
  109. 3:36meaning in the 15, 16, and 17 age groups
  110. 3:38, you can open a social media account,
  111. 3:40but you will have a restricted account.
  112. 3:43Your account will not be public. You
  113. 3:45cannot go live. You do not have the
  114. 3:47infinite scroll feature. Meaning you
  115. 3:48only have a certain amount of scrolling
  116. 3:50allowed. Your algorithm will be as the
  117. 3:52state desires, and your messaging will
  118. 3:54be restricted.
  119. 3:56At the same time, if you are a content
  120. 3:57creator under 18, which will victimize
  121. 3:59many people, and you earn money from
  122. 4:01social media, there is a possibility
  123. 4:03that your account will be closed.
  124. 4:05I mean, at least that's what the state
  125. 4:07says. As I said before, I think these
  126. 4:09things will be resolved with a VPN.
  127. 4:11At the same time, even if you have
  128. 4:12verified yourself via e-Government,
  129. 4:14suspicious accounts will still be
  130. 4:15suspended. For example, let's say you
  131. 4:17verified with your father's account, but
  132. 4:19YouTube still thinks you are a child. In
  133. 4:22such a case, it may ask you to verify
  134. 4:24your age again. There is such an issue
  135. 4:25on the YouTube side as well. On the
  136. 4:27Twitch side, it seems Twitch will refund
  137. 4:29users 'money before closing the accounts
  138. 4:32. I don't know what money they will be
  139. 4:34refunding. I didn't quite understand
  140. 4:35that either. Because I have never used
  141. 4:36Twitch in my life. But just so you know
  142. 4:38. I mean, there is such a situation. So
  143. 4:40, how effective is this practice abroad
  144. 4:42? For example, such a law was introduced
  145. 4:44in Australia last year. Before the ban,
  146. 4:47children's social media usage was around
  147. 4:5085%. But after the ban, it only fell to
  148. 4:5382%. That remaining 3%probably cannot
  149. 4:56use it due to family pressure. As you
  150. 4:58can see, this law actually doesn't work
  151. 5:00at all. So why is the state introducing
  152. 5:02this law? In my opinion, the only thing
  153. 5:04the state wants is to be able to
  154. 5:05identify people. This way, if you are an
  155. 5:07opposition supporter, for example, you
  156. 5:09will be judged more easily for what you
  157. 5:11have written. Because when you look at
  158. 5:13it, whether you are 30 or 40, you now
  159. 5:15have to verify to social media platforms
  160. 5:17that you are not a child. So what does
  161. 5:20this mean? It means you have to give
  162. 5:21your identity and personal information
  163. 5:23to these social media platforms yourself
  164. 5:25.
  165. 5:25First of all, there will be a huge
  166. 5:27security vulnerability here. Almost
  167. 5:28everyone with a social media account
  168. 5:30will be affected by this. Secondly,
  169. 5:32there will be no such thing as anonymity
  170. 5:34left. The state will know who everyone
  171. 5:36is and will be able to judge whomever it
  172. 5:38wants, however it wants. With the 2028
  173. 5:39elections approaching, it is not very
  174. 5:41surprising that they have made such a
  175. 5:44decision. Now let's come to this fraud
  176. 5:46system. A few days ago, the Presidential
  177. 5:48Center for Combating Disinformation made
  178. 5:50an important statement.
  179. 5:52According to the statement, attempts by
  180. 5:54scammers to seize your personal and
  181. 5:55financial information using the age
  182. 5:57verification regulation have been
  183. 5:58detected.
  184. 6:00So, some people are sending out fake
  185. 6:02messages claiming your account will be
  186. 6:04closed and sending links that insist you
  187. 6:06need to verify your age immediately.
  188. 6:09They are even using fake e-government
  189. 6:11login pages for this, so they both take
  190. 6:13over your social media account and gain
  191. 6:14access to your e-government portal,
  192. 6:16which is the most dangerous part.
  193. 6:18Believe me, if your e-government account
  194. 6:20is stolen—which is actually very
  195. 6:21difficult to do. However, if you enter
  196. 6:23it yourself, then something like this
  197. 6:24could happen. Believe me, if something
  198. 6:26like that happens, it’s a huge problem.
  199. 6:28So please, be careful about these things
  200. 6:29. There is no such regulation in place
  201. 6:31right now. I will inform you as soon as
  202. 6:32this regulation starts to be implemented
  203. 6:34anyway. So you can stay tuned. So, what
  204. 6:37will happen to social media platforms
  205. 6:38that do not follow the rules? First, 3%
  206. 6:40of their global turnover will be
  207. 6:42deducted, which is a very large amount.
  208. 6:45I don’t think any social media platform
  209. 6:47will pay this. If the rules are still
  210. 6:49not met 30 days after this penalty, they
  211. 6:51will be banned from receiving new
  212. 6:53advertisements from Turkey. If
  213. 6:55compliance is still not met within 3
  214. 6:57months after the advertising ban, a 50%
  215. 6:59bandwidth throttling will be applied by
  216. 7:01court order. If this violation continues
  217. 7:03, the bandwidth throttling rate will
  218. 7:05increase to 90%this time. So, this
  219. 7:07actually means a ban on social media
  220. 7:09platforms. Oh, by the way, I would like
  221. 7:11to inform you about something. For
  222. 7:12example, regarding Steam, there are
  223. 7:14claims that access to about 700 games on
  224. 7:16Steam has been blocked. But Steam has
  225. 7:18not implemented any of these. I will
  226. 7:20investigate this issue as well, don’t
  227. 7:21worry. We will talk about the subject in
  228. 7:23more detail in another video. However,
  229. 7:25this is a big problem, for example.
  230. 7:26Because Steam has still not made any
  231. 7:28statement regarding this issue. And you
  232. 7:30know, we don’t have much time left. One
  233. 7:32day later, that is tomorrow, the social
  234. 7:33media restriction will have started.
  235. 7:35However, as far as we know, there is no
  236. 7:37age restriction regarding games right
  237. 7:39now. You won't be able to play some
  238. 7:41games because you are underage, but this
  239. 7:42exists everywhere in the world anyway.
  240. 7:44Sure, no one follows this rule, that’s
  241. 7:46another matter, but I don’t know; there
  242. 7:47is no such thing as a ban on playing
  243. 7:49games for those under 15, just so you
  244. 7:50know.
  245. 7:51Your game accounts won't be closed, but
  246. 7:53as I said, if you reside in Turkey, you
  247. 7:55have to verify your age here too, and
  248. 7:56after verifying your age, you won't be
  249. 7:58able to play some games; even if they
  250. 8:00are in your library, you won't be able
  251. 8:02to play them, let me put it that way.
  252. 8:04Okay, let's say you are an adult, you
  253. 8:06are around 30 years old, but your
  254. 8:07account was still closed, what will you
  255. 8:09do in this case? An appeal mechanism
  256. 8:11will be established for this. If your
  257. 8:13account was closed by mistake, you will
  258. 8:15be able to appeal this decision and have
  259. 8:18your account reopened. But there is
  260. 8:20something I don't understand here. For
  261. 8:22example, what would happen if you made
  262. 8:24this appeal using a VPN and said that
  263. 8:26you are not Turkish? Would YouTube
  264. 8:28believe this and reopen your account? Or
  265. 8:30would they say, "No brother, I think you
  266. 8:32are Turkish"? And then just close it?
  267. 8:34That is one of the things I am most
  268. 8:35curious about. Because no matter where
  269. 8:37you go in the world, there is no such
  270. 8:39thing. But Turkey is interestingly
  271. 8:40saying that we will be the outlier in
  272. 8:42this regard. Let's see if it will really
  273. 8:44be like that. Yes, in summary, this is
  274. 8:46what the law tells us. I hope I have
  275. 8:48been able to inform you in detail. That
  276. 8:50is all I have to share for now. I will
  277. 8:53continue to keep you updated as more
  278. 8:54details emerge. See you in the next
  279. 8:56videos. Take care of yourselves. Goodbye
  280. 8:59. Yeah.
