Greece is set to implement a ban on social media access for children under the age of 15, effective January 1, 2027. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced the decision, emphasizing the growing issues of online addiction, anxiety, and disturbed sleep patterns among teens. In a video message shared on TikTok, Mitsotakis described the decision as 'difficult but necessary,' highlighting the pressures children face from social media, including constant comparison and negative comments. This move aligns with a global trend, as several countries, including Australia, have introduced similar measures to protect young users. Mitsotakis noted that excessive screen time contributes significantly to anxiety levels among children, reflecting a rising concern among parents regarding their children's mental health.
