Greece to Impose Social Media Ban for Children Under 15

Greece will ban access to social media for children under 15, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said.

The regulation will come during the summer of 2026 and will enter into force on Jan. 1 2027, Mitsotakis said Wednesday in a message on TikTok.

“Greece is one of the first European countries to take such an initiative, but I am sure it will not be the last,” Mitsotakis said. “Our aim is to pressure the European Union toward that direction.”

The move makes Greece the latest European country to try and restrict social media use for children and teenagers.
