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

The probe will focus on how these platforms process children's personal data and the technical and administrative measures implemented to ensure their protection.
The primary objective of the investigation is to ensure digital security in alignment with the "best interests of the child" principle.
Authorities will examine the methods used by these digital giants to handle sensitive information belonging to minors.
This move follows recent regulatory actions in the country.
Notably, access to the Discord platform was blocked across Turkey on October 9, 2024, following a decision by the Ankara 1st Criminal Court of Peace.
