Greece to ban social media use for under-15s from next year

What happened: Greece will prohibit children under 15 from using social media platforms starting next year, following similar policies in France and Spain.

Why it matters:

  • Aims to protect young users from potential online harm and excessive screen time
  • Impacts social media companies, parents, and young users in Greece

MNN Take: This move reflects growing concerns across Europe about children's online safety and mental health, prompting governments to regulate access to social media for younger age groups.
