Online safety & content laws in Greece (2026)

Adopted by the Greek Parliament and published in the Official Gazette on 5 April 2024, Law 5099/2024 sets out supplementary national measures for DSA compliance, including designation of competent authorities, a mandatory registry of intermediary service providers, and enforcement penalties up to 6% of global annual turnover.

The Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) is designated as Greece's Digital Services Coordinator, with powers to request information, conduct on-site inspections, order cessation of DSA violations, impose interim measures, and receive user complaints against intermediary service providers.

Alongside EETT, the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) supervises DSA provisions on advertising transparency and protection of minors' personal data, while the National Council for Radio and Television (NCRTV) oversees compliance with advertising and minor-protection obligations by platforms.

Law 5099/2024 established a mandatory EETT-supervised registry; all intermediary service providers established or legally represented in Greece were required to register by 22 October 2024. EETT published its first Annual Digital Services Report covering compliance activity in 2024.

In April 2026, Prime Minister Mitsotakis announced legislation to prohibit children under 15 from accessing 'endless-scroll' social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat), with entry into force on 1 January 2027. Age verification would rely on the Gov.gr Wallet 'Kids Wallet' parental-control tool; Greece simultaneously called for an EU-wide framework by end-2026.

Greece transposed the NIS2 Directive via Law 5160/2024, establishing the National Cybersecurity Authority. Law 5179/2025 introduced significant changes to enforcement through intermediary injunctions, strengthening the procedural toolkit for ordering platforms to remove illegal content.
