Greece will implement a ban on social media usage for children under the age of 15 starting in 2024. This decision aligns with initiatives in several other European countries, including France and Spain, aimed at safeguarding minors from potential online harm. The Greek Ministry of Digital Governance announced the regulation, citing the need to protect youth from exposure to inappropriate content and cyberbullying. The law will require platforms to implement stricter age verification measures to enforce compliance. Social media companies will need to develop and deploy technology to verify user ages effectively. The legislation also promotes digital literacy programs to educate young people on responsible internet usage. This move reflects a broader trend among European nations to legislate user safety in the digital age. Critics argue it could lead to challenges in implementation and may raise concerns about privacy and parental control.
