Provisions that foresee penalties such as program suspension and content removal for television channels are also mentioned as possible regulations in the package. Topics related to identity verification on social media and the use of VPNs are also expected to be evaluated within the package.
A new regulation addressing victims of IBAN fraud is also on the agenda. Articles indicating a new era in matters such as complicating the gender change process, divorce, and alimony are also expected to be included in the proposal.
A provision regarding the change in the calculation period for alimony is also listed among the possible regulations in the package. It is conveyed that amnesty and enforcement regulations are not expected to be part of this package.
