Turkey Passes Bill Restricting Social Media Use for Children Under 15

The Turkish government has recently passed a bill prohibiting children under the age of 15 from using social media. The bill is awaiting the president's signature, and the government argues that this measure will help protect minors' online safety. However, critics have raised concerns that such measures could threaten free expression and privacy. Especially, given the existing issues with internet censorship in Turkey, there is significant interest in how this new legislation might impact democracy and freedom of expression in the digital age.
