Greece approves social media ban for under-15s
The ban takes effect on January 1, 2027, with platforms given 2-1/2 months to develop age checks that protect users' privacy.
Greek lawmakers approved legislation on October 23 barring children younger than 15 from using social media. The measure, adopted amid concerns about minors' health and safety, is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said platforms have 2-1/2 months to work out how to check users' ages while safeguarding their privacy. Greece is working with the European Commission and six other European Union countries to find an age-verification solution.
The Greek government says the measure supports parents' efforts to limit scrolling, which it says takes away from children's sleep, concentration and time spent with friends.
Australia was the first country to legislate restrictions on minors' social media use. France also passed a similar measure, but its Constitutional Council struck that law down in August.
