TurkeyRadio and Television Broadcasting Law, On-Demand Service Minor Protection
Law No. 6112 (Radio and Television Broadcasting Law), Art. 8/3
In force since .
An age-appropriate design code rule binding private bodies.
What it requires
- Applies to an on-demand broadcasting service provider, meaning an audiovisual streaming or video-on-demand service within the Radio and Television Supreme Council's licensing jurisdiction.
- Ensure that a broadcast service of a nature that could adversely affect the physical, mental or moral development of children and young people is presented in a way that they would not normally hear or see under ordinary conditions (Article 8(3)).
- You need not follow Article 8(2)'s bar on broadcasting such content during time periods children could watch, even with a protective symbol (strengthened by Law No. 7077 in 2018): it governs linear radio and television broadcasting, not on-demand services.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What this law does
Article 8(3) of the Radio and Television Broadcasting Law requires an on-demand broadcasting service provider (an audiovisual streaming or video-on-demand service within the Radio and Television Supreme Council's jurisdiction) to ensure that a broadcast service of a nature that could adversely affect the physical, mental, or moral development of children and young people is presented in a way that they would not normally hear or see under ordinary conditions.
A parallel duty at Art. 8(2), strengthened by Law No. 7077 in 2018, separately bars broadcasting such content during time periods children could watch even where a protective symbol is used, for linear radio and television broadcasting rather than on-demand services.
