Greece's government is set to introduce a landmark law that would restrict young users' access to social media platforms, with plans to block social media for children under the age of 15. The move aims to mitigate the potential harm caused by excessive social media use among minors, including cyberbullying, online harassment, and exposure to age-inappropriate content. The proposed law would require social media companies to implement age verification systems to prevent minors from accessing their platforms, with violators facing hefty fines. As the world grapples with the impact of social media on children's mental health and well-being, Greece's decision is being closely watched by policymakers and tech industry leaders worldwide.
