New regulation to introduce ‘digital consent age’ for children’s data

Turkey is preparing a new regulation to introduce a 'digital consent age' for children's data, aiming to enhance online privacy and safety. The proposed rule would require parental consent for processing personal information of children below a certain age, while allowing older minors more autonomy over their data. This initiative aligns with broader efforts to regulate children's digital activities, including recent laws limiting social media access for those under 15. Officials are still determining the exact age threshold and implementation details, but similar age-based consent frameworks exist in other countries. The measure reflects Turkey's growing focus on regulating digital platforms and protecting young users from online risks.
