In response to the growing prevalence of content deemed contrary to moral values and public ethics on social networks, the Ministry of Justice in Tunisia has revealed a series of legal measures. The Minister has instructed prosecutors to pursue legal action against people using platforms like TikTok and Instagram to disseminate inappropriate material.
Concerns About Impact on Youth
The Ministry stresses that many of these posts, including indecent images and videos, pose a risk to young people. There are worries about the negative influence of such content on their behaviour and societal integration.
Legal Measures to Safeguard Societal Values
To fight this trend, the Ministry has directed legal authorities to take action against those producing, sharing, or disseminating what it considers immoral content. Offenders may face criminal prosecution for posting digital media that undermines ethical and societal standards. This initiative aims to protect users, especially youth, from harmful influences while upholding societal values. The Ministry has furthermore urged vigilance against the misuse of digital platforms to propagate such messages.
