Greece Passes Social Media Ban for Minors

The Greek parliament has enacted legislation prohibiting children under 15 from accessing social media platforms. The law mandates that services like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X implement reliable age-verification methods. Parents will be required to use state-backed apps, such as Kids Wallet, to block access on their children’s devices.

Platforms failing to comply with these requirements face potential fines of up to 6 percent of their global annual turnover. The ban takes effect on January 1, 2027.
