Influencer Dilan Polat's 6.3 million follower account shut down; first statement released

Istanbul – Social media phenomenon Dilan Polat, frequently in the Turkish public eye for her luxurious lifestyle and legal troubles, has faced a significant digital setback. A court in Ankara ordered the closure of her Instagram account, which boasted 6.3 million followers, citing an official request from the Ministry of Family and Social Services.

The closure was executed by Meta, the social media giant, after completing the necessary technical processes. Polat, whose every move on social media garners attention, broke her silence following the digital ban. According to a gossip page, she expressed her feelings, stating, "My fate was written badly since childhood. I have no single expectation left. It's okay, I don't care about the account or anything. I just wanted to be very happy, but I couldn't. I wish everyone to be very happy; I couldn't be."

Following the main account's suspension, Polat's family has taken action to maintain contact with her followers. Engin Polat's mother, Şükran Polat, announced on social media that they have initiated a backup account. "We have made the necessary applications; this is my backup account until my account is opened," she stated, sharing the temporary digital address for communication.

In response to the crisis, malicious individuals have created hundreds of fake profiles impersonating Dilan Polat. Şükran Polat issued a second warning to followers, urging them to avoid fraudulent accounts and misinformation. "New accounts have been opened in Dilan's name. All of these are fake accounts. Dilan currently has no new account opened in her own name," she cautioned, emphasizing that these imposter profiles should not be trusted.
