Social media phenomena In an interview regarding his trial for allegedly sharing “obscene” images, Merve Taşkn described his intended audience as “bitter adolescents unable to live their own lives.” This was in reference to the allegations that he had shared the photos.

In the documentary named “Turkey Disclosure,” which was produced by the 140journos team, Taşkn, who has been in the news recently for the court procedure and his attitude toward the judicial system, tells his side of the story. The documentary, which sheds light on Tuskin’s youth and upbringing, became an instant topic of conversation on various forms of social media almost immediately after its release. While some people replied in support of Tuskin and his ideals, others voiced their disagreement with the documentary and Tuskin.
Taşkn, who stated that he had a childhood that was filled with feelings of loneliness, insecurity, and worthlessness, stated that he had lost his biological father when he was two years old and had grown up with his stepfather. “I wish I could get more affection from my family,” said Taşkn, who added he started looking for love and compassion outside the home: “I wish I could get more love from my friends.”

Unfortunately, that’s the situation with 90 percent of people. Everyone has the ability to act as a moral arbiter, but if you examine your own life, you will see that you have consistently behaved in a profoundly immoral manner.
