Greece announces social media ban for children under 15 starting January 2025
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced plans to ban social media access for children under 15, with the restriction taking effect in January 2025. The move aims to address rising anxiety and sleep problems among young people and what Mitsotakis called the "addictive design" of social media platforms. Greece joins Australia and several other countries pursuing similar age-based social media restrictions.
