Greece Bans Social Media for Under-15s Starting January 2027

The notable detail here is the long lead time: a binding ban with a fixed start date more than a year out gives platforms and families a runway to adjust, rather than an immediate enforcement shock. For crypto and RWA platforms, which often lean on social channels for user acquisition and community building, Greece signals that age-gating is becoming a legislative reality in Europe, not just a platform policy choice. The open question is how enforcement and platform compliance will be defined before the deadline, and whether other legislatures follow Greece's model.
