Summary/Abstract: The increasing accessibility of the internet through various digital devices has significantly changed children’s online experiences. While internet access offers children opportunities for learning and social interaction, it also exposes them to potentially harmful content. In response, many parents impose access restrictions. This paper examines how such parental restrictions impact the personality rights of children from a comparative legal perspective, focusing on Turkish and German law. The study discusses the legal balance between parental authority and the rights of children to digital participation, privacy, and development. It argues that the German legal approach may serve as a model for Turkish regulatory efforts. By bridging child protection, internet freedom, and digital media regulation, the paper offers recommendations for legal frameworks that prioritize the best interests of the child.
