根据周六在《官方公报》上发布的新网络安全局法规，土耳其已禁止社交网络提供商向15岁以下的未成年人提供服务。
Türkiye has barred social network providers from offering services to minors under the age of 15, according to new Cyber Security Directorate regulations published Saturday in the Official Gazette.
该法规规定，提供商“不得向未满15岁的儿童提供服务”。法规还要求，对于15岁及以上的用户，提供商必须提供差异化服务并采取必要措施，同时应考虑未成年人的最大利益及其在身体、心理、精神、社会和情感方面的发展。
The regulation said providers "cannot provide services to children who have not reached the age of 15." Providers must also offer differentiated services and take necessary measures for users 15 and older, according to the regulations, adding that they should consider the minor’s best interests and their physical, mental, psychological, social, and emotional development.
法规补充称，年龄验证必须优先考虑个人数据保护，使用仅能确定用户是否达到年龄门槛的方法，而非核实身份。
Age verification must prioritize personal data protection, using methods that determine only whether a user meets the age threshold rather than establishing identity, it added.
法规指出，提供商必须使验证方法的可靠性、算法结构以及以儿童为中心的服务政策“对用户、家长和管理局而言清晰、可审计且可测试”，并强调必须创建清晰、用户友好的家长控制工具。
Saying that providers must make the reliability of verification methods, their algorithm structures, and child-focused service policies "clear, auditable and testable for users, parents and the directorate," it stressed that they must create clear, user-friendly parental control tools.
这些法规是根据土耳其议会今年4月通过的关于社交媒体的新立法制定的。
The regulations come under new legislation on social media passed by the Turkish parliament this April.
