Canada introduces legislation to ban social media for children under 16
OTTAWA, June 10 - The Canadian government introduced a new digital safety bill on Wednesday that would ban social media for children under 16 with exemptions for platforms that meet certain safety standards, months after Australia enacted the world's first social media ban for young people.
Canada has proposed new legislation aimed at enhancing digital safety for young people. The bill, introduced on Wednesday, seeks to prohibit social media access for individuals under the age of 16. However, the legislation includes provisions for exemptions, allowing platforms that adhere to specific safety requirements to continue operating for this age group. This move by the Canadian government follows similar actions taken by Australia, which previously implemented a ban on social media for its youth.
This legislation could significantly impact how minors access and interact with online platforms, potentially setting a new precedent for child online safety regulations globally.
