Greece to Ban Social Media for Minors Under 15 by 2027
In a move aimed at safeguarding the mental health of young individuals, Greece has announced a ban on social media usage for minors under the age of 15, set to take effect in 2027. This significant policy shift has ignited discussions among the public and policymakers regarding the implications of social media on the well-being of children.
Supporters of the ban argue that social media platforms can expose minors to unhealthy content and mental health risks, including anxiety and depression. Critics, however, raise concerns about the efficacy of such a ban and the potential overreach of government into personal freedoms and parental rights.
