Canada Proposes Social Media Ban for Under 16s

The Canadian government has put forth new legislation that could ban children under the age of 16 from accessing social media platforms.

This proposed law is designed to significantly enhance online safety for minors, addressing growing concerns about the impact of social media on youth.

The legislation includes provisions for exemptions, which may be granted to companies that demonstrate they have implemented sufficient safeguards to protect young users.

This move reflects a broader global trend of governments seeking to regulate social media to mitigate potential harms to children.
