Social Issues
So, it’s actually happening. Starting in 2027, Greece is banning social media for anyone under the age of 15.
What happened?
Prime Minister Mitsotakis went on TikTok today to break the news. He’s doing this because he’s seen a massive rise in anxiety and sleep loss in kids who are addicted to their screens. He even sent a letter to the EU asking them to make this a standard across all of Europe.
Luxembourg is now the second country to enshrine abortion rights in its constitution! 🇱🇺✨ France was the first to do so, and I hope other countries will follow suit.
This is a roadmap for how it should be everywhere—protecting freedom in the highest law so it’s “protected forever,” not just “legal for now.”
As MP Marc Baum put it:
“We see throughout the world that women’s rights are in the firing line. This vote in the chamber is historic. It’s also about what side of history we are on. It’s whether we are willing and capable to defend out democratic values.”
A massive win for equality! 👏
I applaud Virginia for passing 25 vital gun safety laws—a huge step for reform. However, I’m disappointed that assault weapons with under 15 rounds remain legal. A single magazine can still kill 15 people, which is far too many. Progress is good, but we must address these high-capacity gaps.
The Court says banning conversion therapy silences free speech. But every major medical group calls it harmful and discredited. So when does “free speech” become a license to hurt kids? And on Trans Day of Visibility, of all days — that timing stings. It is a sad day for the LGBT community.
