KVKK Launches Investigation into 6 Social Media Giants Over Children's Data

The probe focuses on the processes related to the protection and processing of children's personal data.
Recent evaluations have brought the potential risks of digital environments on children's cognitive and social development to the forefront.
Research indicates that the average attention span of individuals has dropped to approximately 8 seconds.
Specifically, children's attention spans have recorded a decrease of at least 30 percent over the last decade.
Experts emphasize that this decline directly and negatively impacts academic achievement and social relationships.
Shared Responsibility for a Safer Internet While the goal is to create a safer digital ecosystem for children, authorities point out that legal regulations alone will not be sufficient.
It is stated that the active support of parents and teachers is of critical importance to ensure that educational processes are not interrupted and that children are protected from risks in the digital world.
