Türkiye's digital policy framework is undergoing a fundamental transformation, shifting from a fragmented, sector-based model toward a comprehensive, enforcement-ready system built around three core pillars: cybersecurity consolidation, content moderation reform and child safety regulation.
The Cybersecurity Law (Law No. 7545), in force since March 2025, consolidates technical and regulatory powers under a single authority. The appointment of the first President of the Cybersecurity Authority in October 2025 marks the beginning of an implementation phase centered on security, oversight and enforcement.

Meanwhile, the government's 11th Judicial Package seeks to restore and modernize mechanisms for online content removal and access blocking following the Constitutional Court's annulment of Article 9 of Law No. 5651. In parallel, Türkiye is advancing toward a binding child-safety framework with clear age thresholds, stronger verification requirements and enhanced platform accountability - aligning with the European Parliament's push for a 16+ digital minimum age.

Below, Aretera provides detailed analysis of Türkiye's digital policy developments and their strategic implications for international technology companies operating in this critical market.
