KVKK Launches Investigation into Major Platforms Including TikTok, Instagram, and X Over Children's Data

Data Processing and Security Measures As part of the investigation, the methods used by these platforms to collect and process children's personal data will be analyzed in detail.
The Age Verification and Algorithm Auditing One of the most critical aspects of the process is the effectiveness of age verification systems.
The reliability of the mechanisms used by platforms to determine user age and the algorithms that dictate content shown to children are among the priority agenda items.
Authorities aim to implement stricter oversight mechanisms and sanctions to minimize the risks children face on digital platforms.
This move is expected to establish a new standard for child protection within the digital ecosystem.
