Part of situation: Global surge in social media regulation for minors (20 clusters)

Greece bans social media access for children under 15

Greece social media ban age verification digital safety Kyriakos Mitsotakis

The Greek Parliament has passed legislation prohibiting children under the age of 15 from accessing social media platforms. The law, which aims to protect minors from mental health issues and internet addiction, is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.

Social media companies, including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and X, will be required to implement reliable age-verification systems. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated that platforms have two and a half months to propose technical solutions that ensure age compliance while protecting user privacy. To facilitate this, the government suggested using digital tools such as the Kids Wallet or Gov.gr Wallet, which are designed to verify age through age tokens without disclosing full personal data.

The regulation applies to both new and existing accounts. Non-compliant companies may face significant financial penalties under the European Union’s Digital Services Act, with potential fines reaching up to 6% of their annual global turnover. This move places Greece among the first European nations to enact such a strict national restriction, moving ahead of unified EU-wide legislation.
