The ban, which will be enforced through a state-mandated application on personal devices, is part of a broader initiative to protect minors from the psychological impacts of excessive screen time and online pressures. Mitsotakis emphasized that the measure is necessary despite potential backlash from young people, stating, 'Our role is not to be pleasant.' The legal framework for this ban is expected to be unveiled in the summer of 2026.
