The Aydın Denge newspaper said the shortened wording was used in the post because Gülşen Erdoğan's full name did not fit the image template. Publisher Emin Aydın stated the outlet had no intent to mislead readers or imply the president had died.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has called for Delice's immediate release, alleging authorities were using disinformation laws to criminalize journalism. At least 83 journalists have faced 114 charges under Article 217/A since it took effect in 2022, according to the organisation.
