What specific actions will the Turkish government take to address the rising concerns about social media's impact on children?

Turkey's Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced plans for legal regulations to protect children under 16 from the harms of social media and online games, citing a "social threat." The regulations will initially focus on increasing the responsibilities and oversight of internet service providers and social media platforms. This follows concerns over the high rate of social media use in Turkey (66% of the population) and increasing negative impacts like misinformation and cyberbullying.
