Canada joins global movement to ban social media for kids: ‘We are failing our children. Enough is enough’
Canada introduced legislation to potentially bar children under 16 from social media unless companies prove their platforms are safe, joining a global movement. The Digital Safety Commission of Canada will oversee the regulation, which includes exemptions for companies with sufficient safeguards. Countries like Australia, Brazil, and Indonesia have already implemented similar measures.
