Türkiye introduced stricter social media regulations on April 22, aimed at better protecting children and teenage users under 15, citing growing concerns over online safety and mental health.
The measures require stricter age verification systems, while giving parents greater control over their children’s screen time, in-app purchases and account settings.
Safer, youth-friendly versions of platforms will also be developed for minors, with stricter obligations applying to social media platforms with more than 10 million daily users in Türkiye.
