RTÜK fines streaming platforms, orders removal of films over ‘anti-family’ content

This is what the culture hate warriors want here in the US.  They saw what Putin did in Russia and what Victor Orbán did in Hungary.  They used the idea of protecting children to limit representation of LGBTQ+ people in society, then they moved it up the war against that community to erase it based on it was an attack on families.  The question you need to ask why is family threatened by including same-sex couples as a family?  What makes that family unit an attack on families?   In their mind it is twofold, one in their mind it doesn’t produce its own offspring and also it offends tradition / religious tradition.  We must never change what was done in the past forever in the minds of those who preach the way to live from a book written centuries ago as they read it on their new smartphone.  We must find a way to stop this big money steam rolling over personal civil rights to install fundamental religious dictates on how everyone lives in the US.  There are those who believe just admitting and allowing LGBTQ+ people to exist is promoting it.  Is admitting and showing red hair people exist promoting red hair?  Hugs

The council claimed the content “promotes homosexuality,” “disregards family values,” and “conflicts with the shared values of society.”

Turkey’s media regulator has imposed fines on five international streaming platforms and ordered the removal of several films and series, citing violations of “national and moral values.”

The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) announced the penalties following inspections conducted under the government’s “Year of the Family” initiative. According to the regulator, the inspections aimed to “protect children from harmful content” and “combat productions that threaten the Turkish family structure and shared societal values.”

RTÜK fined the platforms the maximum penalty allowed, amounting to 3% of their annual revenues in Turkey. The decision affects Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix, HBO Max, and MUBI.

Among the targeted content are All of Us Strangers on Disney+, Those About To Die on Prime Video, Cobalt Blue on Netflix, Looking: The Movie on HBO Max, and Benedetta on MUBI.

The council claimed the content “promotes homosexuality,” “disregards family values,” and “conflicts with the shared values of society.” It did not elaborate on the specific scenes or themes that led to the sanctions.

Under Article 32 of Law No. 6112, RTÜK is authorized to impose several administrative measures on broadcasting entities. These include warnings, suspension of programming, and fines. The council can also enforce temporary broadcast bans and revoke broadcasting licenses. (HA/VK)
