The Turkish parliament passed a law banning children under 15 from accessing social media. Digital platforms must introduce age verification systems - and the law takes effect six months after publication in the official gazette.

Parents get tools for monitoring screen time, and major platforms must intervene within one hour in emergency situations involving harmful content.

Turkey is not alone. French President Macron recently promoted an "internet-free day" for young people, and European Commission President von der Leyen discussed similar restrictions with leaders from 12 member states.

The question is real: how old should you be before an algorithm decides what you see? But the ban is the easy part - enforcement is a completely different story. Can Turkey actually verify age online, or is this just another law that sounds good on paper?
