Joiz new on air - problems with youth protection
The Joiz channel had been on the air for barely an hour when it ran into problems with youth protection regulations. Shortly before 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Joiz aired a clip in which Steven Seagal brutally abuses dozens of people.
This did not please the Child Protection Foundation at all. This clip would have to be labeled by law. Managing Director Kathie Wiederkehr emphasized this to 20 Minuten. In any case, a report of this level of brutality should not be broadcast at this time of day. This example also shows how important it is that the broadcaster takes the protection of minors in the media seriously and that parents are supported as early as possible in their children's media education.
In future, Joiz will have to better monitor what is shown, program director Elif Erisik told 20 Minuten. However, due to technical problems, the broadcaster was unable to monitor everything.
