In his statement regarding the work they have carried out recently, RTÜK President Mehmet Daniş reminded that, as the Supreme Council, they are an institution that carries out 24/7 inspection.
Noting that internet-based digital platforms and social media have developed a lot technologically over the years, Daniş said that the Supreme Council is also working to adapt itself to technology.
Daniş noted the following regarding the work carried out:
"As the Supreme Council, we are implementing the Via+ project in order to adapt ourselves to the developing technology, we have reached its final stage. Via+ is a system we have newly established, supported by artificial intelligence, in which we can perform our monitoring and supervision duty. This system will monitor more than 800 channels from 6 satellites at the same time and will be able to follow almost all internet-based channels. It will not only monitor, but also detect violations in Law No. 6112, prepare its report and send it to our relevant expert. Our expert will finalize his report. "The Via+ system is a program with a very powerful capacity. It will be able to analyze 19,200 hours of speech per day, translate it in 12 languages, view and inspect more than 300 million frames, and do this with millimetric precision. A system that can detect and report violations not only in terms of sound but also in terms of images, has been established."
Daniş said that the new system has been accredited according to the legislation of the Supreme Council and the integration of the Monitoring Department into this system continues.
Stating that, as RTÜK, they have control over the traditional media and that the area of control will expand in the near future, Daniş said, "As internet-based digital platforms and digital media providers in the field of broadcasting develop and enter our lives, become widespread through phones and tablets, and become a habit of use, our legislative preparations in this field continue. New duties will be defined for RTÜK and when these duties are defined, we will have a technological infrastructure that can serve for many years while inspecting. The system is 90 percent installed and its tests are continuing. Our experts are also being trained. Just like a steel in the sense of defense." "If we have a dome, it will be our steel dome in the Via+ media area." he said.
Daniş underlined that the Via+ project was included in the Presidential 2027 Investment Program and noted that with this system, they can instantly detect and report violations against the family, woman or child.
"VALUE PLACEMENT" IS COMING TO PROGRAMS
Stating that the broadcasting industry has important responsibilities in raising social awareness about violations against women, children and families, Daniş stated that they are cooperating with the sector to cover these issues not only through public spots but also through TV series, news and entertainment programs.
Mehmet Daniş stated that they constantly bring up issues that require social sensitivity in their joint work with relevant institutions and organizations.
Stating that they attach importance to the concept of "value placement", which was brought to the agenda in a meeting held with the General Secretariat of the National Security Council, Daniş said, "We have expectations from the sector to increase awareness and social sensitivity in the fight against violations against women, children and families. Value placement can be in news segments, prime time TV series and entertainment segments." he said.
RTÜK President Daniş stated that they are trying to shape how the broadcasting industry can contribute to the state's goals and sensitivities in this field by meeting with industry representatives.
Explaining that after the public service announcements were sent by the relevant ministries and organizations, the Supreme Council took the necessary decisions and forwarded them to the broadcasters, Daniş pointed out that social awareness should not be limited to public advertisements only.
Daniş stated that there are successful examples in some TV series regarding the prevention of violence against women and that they continue their efforts to disseminate such content.
