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.
00:40It doesn't mean that any human or unaligned user can be a threat of a social media network.
00:48We don't say that. And it doesn't say that the science is not.
00:51However, there are more important interviews from the scientific groups
00:55in Greece, which means that at least one to five or one to four children
01:00is a threat of a threat of a social media network,
01:06a threat of a social media network,
01:08a threat of a use that doesn't match the age or the time
01:13that a child will have to be able to address a social media network.
01:17In Greece, a key role in implementing the measure is expected to be played by the Ministry of Digital Governance's
01:22Kids' Wallet and Gov.gr platforms, serving as indicative age verification mechanisms.
01:28However, since the bill follows the principle of technological neutrality, companies will be able to choose different technical solutions, provided
01:36these meet the requirements of European legislation.
01:39The role of parents is also crucial.
01:47We must be there and do what we need to do as a child.
01:53These are the most important ones that we have as a child for the next day.
01:58The government is going to be able to do it and we believe that we will be able to do
02:03it as a child.
02:05Because many times, for the children to do such decisions in the hospital, where the children have been in the
02:12cell phone, have been in the social media and have a difficult time for them,
02:17this can lead them to a difficult personal relationship.
02:23The list of banned platforms is dynamic.
02:26The final decisions will be made by the European Union, which is working on a similar plan.
02:31Thanks, everyone.
