Τech companies in Athens to discuss social media ban for children
Published
Next week, representatives of major technology companies will come to Athens. The government invited them to discuss the issue of banning social media for children. The information was given by Mr. Skertsos.
The issue concerns the use of social networks by minors. Many parents, educators and experts are worried about the time children spend online and about the effects this use may have on their psychology and behaviour. For this reason, the issue is being discussed more and more in many countries.
Representatives from large social networking and technology platforms are expected to take part in the meeting. The government wants to hear their views on ways to protect children online. At the same time, it will examine how any new rules could be implemented.
So far, no details have been announced about what will be discussed in detail, nor about whether and when a specific decision will be taken. The issue will occupy public debate in the coming days, as developments are being followed with interest by parents and experts.
