Türkiye forms working group for under-15 social media regulations
Türkiye has established a working group to determine how new social media regulations targeting children under the age of 15 will be implemented, Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Özdemir Göktaş has said.
Speaking after a panel held at the Turkish parliament, Göktaş said the ministry had launched the group to oversee the implementation of the legislation and was continuing consultations with relevant institutions and organizations.
She said the ministry was working in coordination with public bodies and other stakeholders to finalize the principles of the regulation and would soon introduce a bylaw detailing how the system would operate before putting it into practice.
According to Göktaş, the new framework for social media use among children under 15 would not be limited to legal regulations alone, adding that technical infrastructure and implementation mechanisms were also being prepared comprehensively.
