Greece Sets Social Media Age Limit of 15 as Ministers Present Bill

The Greek government is moving to implement a national social media age restriction of 15 years. On October 12, 2026, three government officials—Minister of State Akis Skertsos, Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis, and Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou—scheduled a presentation of the legislative framework to prepare for the bill's introduction to Parliament.

This initiative represents a significant regulatory step by the Greek administration to address digital safety for minors. The proposed legislation aims to establish a formal age threshold for social media usage, marking a shift in the country's approach to digital governance and child protection policy.
