As social media becomes an indispensable instrument for people, politicians, and states for everyday use, it has also blurred the lines between the virtual and real world.

Deniz Unay, a social media expert, told Anadolu Agency that social media has become an important tool for malevolent individuals and illegal groups.

“It has been observed that social media is not only used for socializing or for governments and non-governmental organizations (NGO) to send official posts but also an area for illegal groups and those who desire to abuse it," he said, adding that despite the necessity of reining in this phenomenon, there has not been a strong global effort.
