Greece will ban children under 15 from accessing social media from January 1, 2027, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said, Reuters reported.
In a video address to young people, Mitsotakis said that children who spend long hours in front of screens “do not give their minds a rest and face increasing pressure from constant comparisons and online comments.”
An ALCO opinion poll conducted in February found that almost 80% of respondents approved of the ban. The Greek government has already banned mobile phones in schools and created parental control platforms to limit the time teenagers spend on screens.
