Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis hosted a delegation from Meta, including Vice President for Safety Antigone Davis, at the Maximos Mansion to discuss the protection of minors online.
The dialogue centered on Greece's proposal to establish a harmonized digital age of consent within the European Union, a measure that would mandate parental approval for minors using digital platforms.
The Meta executives reiterated their company's strong support for this initiative.
The meeting acknowledged Greece’s leadership in advancing the European conversation on safeguarding children from harmful online content and the dangers of digital addiction.
The effectiveness of Greece’s "Kids Wallet" application, with its integrated parental control and age verification capabilities, was noted as a significant contribution to this effort.
The parties discussed fostering greater cooperation between public authorities and social media corporations to build robust protective measures for underage users, reflecting a continued push to enhance child safety standards across Europe.
