Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Turkey’s Ministry of Trade has halted advertising for fortune-telling, mediumship and magic services on websites and social media platforms, the ministry announced. The move extends state advertising oversight to services that are often marketed online with testimonials and promotional claims. The ministry did not specify in the cited announcement how long the suspension will last or which platforms are affected. The decision matters for small online practitioners and the platforms that host their ads, which rely on paid promotion to reach customers. What to watch next is whether the ministry issues detailed rules on permitted claims and when the ads can resume.
