The regulation covers social network providers based in Turkey or abroad whenever they can be reached from Turkey (Art. 2). The under-15 ban, the age checks and the separated service have no size threshold. Some other duties start above 1 million or 10 million daily accesses from Turkey; for example, a provider based abroad with more than 1 million must name a representative in Turkey (Law 5651, ek 4\u002F1).",{"q":42,"a":43},"Which apps count as social network providers under Turkish law?","The law names no apps. A social network provider is anyone who lets users create, view or share content such as text, images, sound or location for social interaction (Law 5651, Art. 2(1)(s)). That reaches beyond the big social networks, but whether a dating app, a game with chat or a marketplace with comments is covered is a legal question for your lawyer.",{"q":45,"a":46},"What penalties does Turkey's under-15 law set for platforms?","Failing duties such as ek 4\u002F7 (under-15s and age checks), 4\u002F20 (parental controls), 4\u002F21 (deceptive ads) or 4\u002F23 (re-publication) can bring a fine of up to 3% of the previous calendar year's global turnover (ek 4\u002F24 from 1 November 2026). If the duty is still unmet 30 days after the fine is served, Turkish taxpayers are barred from placing new ads on the platform; three months later, the head of the Presidency can ask a court to cut its bandwidth by 50%, then by up to 90%. The regulation adds notice and time to fix the breach first (Art. 11).",{"q":48,"a":49},"What happens to accounts opened before 1 November 2026?","Each must be checked with the e-Devlet token at least once by 31 March 2027. Accounts found to belong to children under 15 are closed, and the user is told. Their data is deleted once any appeal is settled, or without delay if there is none.
