Greece bans social media for under-15s

Original: Griechenland verbietet soziale Medien für unter 15-Jährige Ein Gesetz nimmt Plattformen und Eltern in die Verantwortung,

Greece has passed a law banning social media use for people under 15, making platforms and parents responsible for compliance and introducing anonymous age verification. Greek lawmakers chose not to wait for an EU-wide regulation on the issue, moving ahead nationally with one of the stricter age limits in Europe. The move is being closely watched as a potential model for other countries debating online child protection rules.

Why now: Greece acting ahead of EU-wide rules sets a precedent in the ongoing debate over protecting minors online.
