Strict fines for tech giants in Greece due to social media measures
Published
The Greek government recently announced a strict stance against large technology companies. The goal is to protect minors from the dangers of social media by promoting legislation that restricts its use by teenagers.
According to the new warnings, companies that do not comply with the new rules will face massive financial penalties. The total amount of potential sanctions could reach up to 48 billion euros, a measure aimed at forcing platforms to implement better control mechanisms.
This initiative is part of a broader effort by the state to address the problems caused by the uncontrolled access of young people to the internet. Authorities emphasize that the safety of children is a priority and that tech giants bear significant responsibility for the content and practices they promote.
These developments are being closely watched by the European community, as Greece is following one of the strictest lines in Europe. Discussions on the implementation of the law are ongoing, while companies are being called upon to adapt their services to the new requirements to avoid sanctions.
