Age verification runs through an e-Devlet token that reveals only whether the user is over 15 or 18, not personal data. Existing accounts have until March 31, 2027 to verify. Unverified accounts will be closed and their data deleted. Platforms must give 15 to 18 year-olds a separate, high-privacy service by default.</description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Türkiye</category></item></channel></rss>
