Greece is “very close” to announcing a ban on social media use for children under the age of 15, according to a senior government source cited by Reuters.
Kathimerini reports that the Ministry of Digital Governance is prepared to move forward with the measure, seeing in the Kids Wallet app, launched last year, as a tool to enforce the ban.
An official announcement is expected to be made by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, though the timing has not yet been confirmed.
Earlier, Spain said that it plans to ban social media for those aged under 16 and will create a law to hold social media executives personally responsible for hate speech on their platforms. [Reuters, Kathimerini]
