An amendment to the Personnel Law of the Turkish Armed Forces that introduces new restrictions on social media use by soldiers was passed by the Turkish Parliament on Wednesday. The legislation aims to address security concerns following recent incidents of leaks and ambushes.
Under the new regulations, soldiers are now strictly prohibited from using social media platforms. The ban is intended to prevent the dissemination of sensitive information that could compromise military operations and endanger personnel. This move comes in response to several security breaches that have been attributed to the misuse of social media by military personnel.
Previous orders had already prohibited soldiers from using mobile phones capable of taking photos and video during military operations, with disobedience resulting in investigations for insubordination. However, this is the first time the military’s own disciplinary regulations are being amended.
