The Turkish government is drafting a bill prohibiting people under 15 from using social media platforms. The bill is scheduled to be submitted to the relevant parliamentary committee for consideration by the end of January. According to media reports such as the “Turkey Today” website, the law requires that social media platforms must not provide services or allow users under 15 to create accounts, and must implement effective filtering mechanisms to prevent minors from being exposed to harmful content. Turkey's Minister of Family and Social Services, Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş said on the 6th that the government wants to pass legislation “to place more responsibility on the platform rather than leaving families to bear the risk alone.”
