The ban applies regardless of parental consent and extends to online gambling, alcohol and tobacco promotion, and explicit content. Around 80% of Greeks support the measure. Greece joins Australia and several European countries moving toward formal child social media restrictions, with Mitsotakis explicitly pushing for the EU to adopt similar policy. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
