The ministry has turned its attention to the rapid growth of online services such as astrology, spiritualism, star charting, magic, meditation, and numerology — many of which operate without clear regulation.
According to state-run Anadolu Agency, AI technologies have been engaged to track digital footprints across multiple platforms, including social media, online payment systems, and messaging services such as WhatsApp and Telegram.
