Greece bans social media for minors without waiting for EU rules
Original: Ein Gesetz nimmt Plattformen und Eltern in die Verantwortung, samt anonymer Alterskontrolle. Auf eine EU-Regelung wollte
Greece has moved to restrict social media use by minors, introducing a law that puts responsibility on platforms and parents, backed by anonymous age verification. Officials chose to act nationally rather than wait for an EU-wide regulation on protecting children online. Discussion is focused on how the age controls will work in practice and whether other countries will follow Greece's lead.
Why now: Greece's national ban on minors using social media sets a precedent ahead of pending EU regulation, raising questions about age verification and platform duties.
