New law in Greece: Social media ban for children under 15
Published
The Greek Parliament passed a new bill on Friday morning, which imposes strict restrictions on the use of social media. According to the new legislation, access to major social networking platforms is now prohibited for children under the age of 15.
With this decision, Greece is following the example of other countries that are trying to protect minors from the dangers of the internet. The goal of the law is to limit children's exposure to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and the addiction caused by digital platforms.
Experts point out that excessive use of social media can negatively affect the mental health and concentration of students. With this new measure, the state seeks to enhance children's safety in the digital world, while simultaneously giving parents greater control.
It is expected that further clarifications regarding the implementation of the law and the role of technology companies will be provided in the coming days. The authorities are calling on citizens to stay informed about the changes, as the protection of minors is now a priority for the country.
