希腊禁止15岁以下未成年人使用社交媒体

希腊议会以多数票通过法案，禁止15岁以下未成年人访问社交媒体平台1。该法案将于2027年1月1日生效1。数字治理和人工智能部长帕帕斯特吉乌表示这一措施必要、有效且符合欧盟法律，强调"我们欠孩子们一个童年"1。

在议会投票中，仅新民主党支持该措施，左翼激进联盟党、希腊解决党、共产党、胜利党和自由进步党投票反对，泛社会主义运动党弃权1。根据法案规定，社交媒体平台需在年初前确认账户是否面向成人1。年龄验证应用"Kid's Wallet"将被用于确认用户是否超过15岁，但不会提供任何其他个人数据1。

希腊是寻求在社交媒体上引入年龄验证标准的七个欧盟国家之一1。澳大利亚去年率先开始这一举措，随后多国效仿1。该禁令旨在保护儿童心理健康，防止不受控制的互联网使用导致成瘾1。

Greece's parliament has passed legislation prohibiting minors under 15 from accessing social media platforms, with the law set to take effect on January 1, 2027.1 The measure was approved by a parliamentary majority, though only the ruling New Democracy party voted in support, while the leftist Syriza party, Greek Solution party, Communist Party, Victory party, and Liberal Progressive Party opposed it, with the Panhellenic Socialist Movement abstaining.1

According to Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence Minister Papastathios, the ban is necessary, effective, and compliant with European Union law.1 Social media platforms will be required to confirm account types before the year begins.1 The government will employ an age verification application called "Kid's Wallet," which will confirm only whether a user is older than 15 without collecting any additional personal data.1 The minister justified the action by stating, "We owe children a childhood," emphasizing the goal of protecting young people's mental health and preventing uncontrolled internet use that could lead to addiction.1

Greece joins six other European Union nations pursuing similar age verification standards on social media platforms.1 Australia pioneered this approach last year, prompting other countries to follow suit.1
