Turkey has banned social media platforms from providing services to children under the age of 15, according to a regulation published in the Official Gazette.
The new measures require social media companies to verify users’ ages when accounts are created, using an age verification code through a Turkish government electronic system, Bloomberg reported on Saturday.
The regulation, which will enter into force on November 1, follows a bill passed by the Turkish parliament in April.
