Ottawa moves to bar kids under 16 from social media
The Liberal government’s new online safety legislation would force social media platforms to block access for kids under 16 and would regulate chatbots.
Federal Culture Minister Marc Miller says this will include AI content that sexualizes someone.
The head of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection says the bill reverses a trend of putting profits ahead of kids' safety.
