Greece To Ban Social Media For Under 15's From 2027. Kyriakos Mitsotakis has announced that Greece will ban social media access for children under 15 starting January 1, 2027, citing concerns over mental health and screen addiction. In a message aimed at young people, the Prime Minister warned that excessive screen time is linked to anxiety, poor sleep and the pressure of constant online comparison. He said many parents report their children are struggling with rest and spending too much time on their phones. The move has strong public backing, with around 80% of people supporting the ban in recent polling. Greece has already introduced measures such as banning mobile phones in schools and offering parental controls to limit screen time. Mitsotakis said the country aims to lead the way in Europe and push the European Union towards similar action. Other countries including Slovenia, Britain, Austria and Spain are also exploring restrictions, following Australia, which became the first to introduce a nationwide ban for under-16s.
