Turkey: Social Media

The Act on Amendments to the Social Services Act and Certain Other Acts (Law No. 7578) (the "Act") was published in the Official Gazette on 1 May 2026, establishing a framework addressing both social media platforms and digital games in Turkey. On the social media front, the Act prohibits social network providers from offering services to children under the age of fifteen and mandates the implementation of age verification measures to enforce this prohibition.
