希腊通过了一项法律，禁止15岁以下的儿童使用社交媒体，该禁令将于2027年1月1日正式生效。
Greece has passed a law banning children under 15 from using social media, with the restrictions set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
据希腊国家广播公司ERT报道，议会经过超过16小时的辩论后，于10月22日晚批准了这项法案。
Parliament approved the bill late on October 22, following a debate that lasted more than 16 hours, state broadcaster ERT reported.
执政的新民主党是唯一支持该法案的政党；泛希腊社会运动（PASOK）投了弃权票，而激进左翼联盟（SYRIZA）、希腊解决方案党（Greek Solution）、共产党以及“自由之路”（Course of Freedom）则投票反对该法案。
The governing New Democracy party was the only party to support the bill. PASOK abstained, while SYRIZA, Greek Solution, the Communist Party, Niki and Course of Freedom voted against it.
该禁令适用于Facebook、Instagram和TikTok等社交媒体平台。根据Proto Thema的说明，是否属于受禁令约束的服务，取决于该服务的具体运作方式，而非其名称。父母无权允许孩子使用这些平台，现有的用户账户也不受豁免。
The ban covers social networks such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Whether a service falls under the rules depends on how it functions, rather than its name, according to Proto Thema. Parents will not be able to grant permission for children to use the platforms, and existing accounts will not be exempt.
相关平台必须对用户的年龄进行验证；如果无法确定用户的年龄，系统会显示一个二维码，用户可以通过政府推出的“Kids Wallet”应用程序来验证自己的年龄。该应用程序只会向平台提供用户是否超过15岁的信息，而不会泄露用户的姓名或出生日期。
Platforms will have to verify users’ ages. If a service cannot determine a user’s age, it will display a QR code that Kids Wallet, a government app, aza ovsv. The app will tell the platform only whether the user is over or under 15, without sharing their name or date of birth.
数字治理部长迪米特里斯·帕帕斯特吉欧（Dimitris Papastergiou）在政府介绍这项制度时表示：“我们不会向任何平台提供孩子的任何个人数据。”
“We do not give platforms any of our children’s personal data whatsoever,” Digital Governance Minister Dimitris Papastergiou said when the government presented the system.
希腊的广播监管机构和数据保护部门将负责监督在该国运营的社交媒体平台。对于规模较大的平台，其合规情况将由欧盟委员会根据《数字服务法》进行监管。该法律并未对儿童或其父母设定新的罚款条款。
Greece’s broadcasting council and data protection authority will oversee platforms operating in the country. For the largest services, enforcement falls to the European Commission under the Digital Services Act. The law does not introduce new fines for children or their parents.
总理基里亚科斯·米佐塔基斯（Kyriakos Mitsotakis）要求相关平台在两个月半的时间内开发出能够保护用户隐私的年龄验证系统。
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has given platforms roughly two and a half months to develop age-verification systems that protect users’ privacy.
希腊也是与欧盟委员会合作开发年龄验证工具的七个欧盟成员国之一。
Greece is also among seven EU countries working with the European Commission on an age-verification tool.
其他国家也采取了类似措施，但效果各不相同：澳大利亚禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体的禁令已于2025年12月生效。
Other countries have taken similar steps, with mixed results. Australia’s ban on social media for under-16s took effect in December 2025.
在法国，宪法委员会于8月14日否决了针对15岁以下人群的禁令，裁定该禁令过度限制了言论自由。
In France, the Constitutional Council struck down an under-15 ban on August 14, ruling that it went too far in restricting freedom of expression.
希腊反对党从实际操作和法律层面双双对新限制措施提出挑战。政府在议会辩论中为该措施进行了辩护。
Greek opposition parties challenged the new restrictions on both practical and legal grounds. The government defended the measure during the parliamentary debate.
“我们没有更多时间可以浪费了，”国务部长阿基斯·斯克尔佐斯在议会表示。
“We don’t have any more time to waste,” Minister of State Akis Skertsos told parliament.
