Turkey restricts teen social media

Turkey restricts teen social media

This move by Turkey follows a global trend of governments taking aggressive action to protect young people from online harm.

Under the new law, social media companies must react more quickly to harmful content and provide clear pathways for reporting abuse.

The bill's passage comes just a week after a tragic incident where a 14-year-old boy killed a peer, an event that sparked a national conversation about digital safety.

Critics of the law, however, warn that such restrictions could push children into 'darker' and less regulated online spaces.
