The Turkish Parliament has approved a bill to impose strict supervision on gaming platforms with daily audiences of over 100,000. Steam, Epic Games Store and other services must appoint a local representative to liaise with the authorities, clearly display age ratings, and implement user-friendly parental tools.

The system of punishments is built step-by-step. For the first violation, the platform receives a warning and a month for correction. Failure to act is followed by a fine of 10 million Turkish liras (about $223,000), and after another month the amount is lost up to 30 million. If this does not help, the regulator gets the right to slow down traffic.

Social media is less fortunate: access is completely prohibited for children under 15, and illegal content must be removed within an hour with a guarantee that it cannot be redownloaded.
