The Greek Parliament has officially passed a law prohibiting social media use for children under 15, aiming to protect minors from excessive internet use and its associated risks. By January 1, 2027, social media platforms must implement age verification methods. The ruling party, New Democracy, strongly supported the law, while opposition parties had differing views. The government emphasizes the need to safeguard childhood amid rising mental health issues among youth. Digital tools may be used for age verification, ensuring that platforms only confirm if users are above or below the age limit without disclosing exact birth dates.
