Turkey publishes regulation restricting social media use for those under 15

Turkey has officially published regulations prohibiting social media use for individuals under the age of 15. The decree, appearing in the Official Gazette, establishes measures for age verification on social networking platforms. This move aims to regulate the online environment for minors.

The regulation addresses growing concerns about the impact of social media on young people. It follows similar legislative efforts in other countries seeking to protect children from potential online harms. The implementation details and enforcement mechanisms will determine the practical effect of this new age restriction.
