00:02Greece is moving to ban children under the age of 15 from accessing social media,
00:08introducing a new legal framework expected to come into force on the 1st of January 2027.
00:14The measure covers services such as Instagram, TikTok and Facebook and places an obligation
00:20on platforms to apply appropriate, proportionate and reliable age verification methods.
00:25In this way, the responsibility for effectively controlling access shifts to the companies themselves,
00:32which will have to ensure the age limit is applied in practice and doesn't remain a mere formality.
01:16In Greece, a key role in implementing the measure is expected to be played by the Ministry of Digital Governance's
01:22Kids' Wallet
01:23and Gov.gr platforms, serving as indicative age verification mechanisms.
01:28However, since the bill follows the principle of technological neutrality,
01:32companies will be able to choose different technical solutions,
01:35provided these meet the requirements of European legislation.
01:39The role of parents is also crucial.
01:41It should be at least the time when the platform one of these three is asking,
01:46should we be there and be there and do what we 바� ban it for us as kids.
01:53This is the purpose of the people that we need to allow us by the children.
01:58It is a great issue by the government that comes to the government and we stand here by paying attention
02:03than the children.
02:05Because, many times, the parents have made such decisions in their homes,
02:11where the children have been placed on the phone,
02:13they have been placed on social media,
02:15and they have a difficulty to respect them.
02:17This could lead them to a difficult personal relationship.
