Behind the Scenes of School Shootings: Are Monster Video Games to Blame?
Turkey has been shaken by a series of school attacks. Initially, a 19-year-old named Ömer Ket launched an attack on a school in Şanlıurfa, followed by a fatal attack by 14-year-old İsa Aras Mersinli, claiming the lives of nine people. In the aftermath of these incidents, the focus has shifted towards social media and video games. Academic Associate Professor Akın Ünver shared findings from their TÜBİTAK project, which examined the influence of digital radicalization, video games, social media, and online factors on extreme ideologies, violence, and armed behavior. In a post from his X account, Ünver stated, 'I would like to share some observations that may contribute to the discussion.'
