"Greece's new law will target social media platforms that allow users to create profiles, interact, and share content, including Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok."
"Once enacted, social media platforms will be responsible for reverifying the ages of all users in Greece to exclude those who are 15 years or under."
"Penalties for non-compliance with the new law may include fines of up to 6% of a company's global turnover and daily fines until compliance."
"The state's role will be limited to ensuring compliance with the new law and taking action in case of reported violations."
Greece has announced plans for a total social media ban for children aged 15 and under. This initiative, led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, seeks to pressure the European Union into establishing formal age restrictions across its member states. The new law will hold social media platforms accountable for verifying user ages and ensuring compliance. Penalties for violations may include significant fines and operational restrictions. The state's role will focus on enforcing compliance with the new regulations.
