12:53Now PlayingMerve Taskin, a Turkish Instagram influencer, is expected to appear in court for publishing photos that were considered to be “obscene.” The pictures were taken at the famed Sex Museum in Amsterdam during a trip to the Netherlands. A few months later, after getting home to Turkey, she was arrested for the criminal acts of posting obscene content. The Turkish government did not see the joke nor found her posts funny. Anyone operating as a Turkish entity or citizen who is sharing indecent and obscene content, especially those intended for a Turkish audience, is subject to Article 226 of Turkey’s penal code. Article 226 penalizes anyone who “broadcasts or publishes obscene written or audio-visual material.” Taskin deleted the images from her social media but still received an SMS message instructing her to appear in court on October 26th, 2021, where she will be formally charged with violating Article 226.
