A series of measures will be taken specifically for children and young people for Instagram, which is one of the most used social media platforms in the world. The “Young Accounts” application, which Instagram launched in the USA, Canada, England and Australia, will be implemented in Turkey as of January 2025.
HOW WILL IT WORK?
According to the news by Ceyda Karaaslan from Sabah, as of January 2025, the accounts of users under the age of 18 will automatically be converted to “youth accounts”.
Users will only be able to message people they follow.
“Explore” and “Reels” content will be filtered. Violent content, cosmetics and make-up products and sensitive content will not be encountered.
