In line with Article 25 of the revised Law on Child Protection, which expands safeguards for children in media, broadcasting, and the digital space, and enforces related penalties under the Law on Infringements, a new regulation has been approved to prevent and protect children from exposure to harmful and prohibited content online.

The regulations outline specific measures for content sharing in the digital environment and defines responsibilities for parents, educational institutions, internet service providers, and government agencies in ensuring child safety online.
