Greece's parliament passed a law banning social media use for people under 15, effective January 1, 2027.
The Greek parliament approved legislation barring social media access for minors under 15, with age verification requirements and penalties for noncompliant platforms. The bill passed with the governing New Democracy party's majority; other parties did not support it, and PASOK abstained. The law takes effect January 1, 2027, aligning Greece with roughly 20 countries imposing similar restrictions.
