Greece has approved a law banning children under the age of 15 from using social media, with the restrictions due to take effect in 2027.

The ban applies to children who have not yet turned 15. The information provided does not specify which platforms will fall under the law or how users’ ages will be verified.

Details of enforcement and any possible exceptions were also not included in the announcement summary. The scheduled start in 2027 leaves a period between the law’s approval and its implementation.
