Canada Plans to Ban Social Media for Children Under 16

Canada is preparing legislation to ban social media access for children under 16 years old as part of broader efforts to protect young people from online risks. The proposed law would also impose stricter regulations on platforms hosting adult content and introduce tougher rules governing artificial intelligence to shield minors from harmful material. The legislation represents part of a growing international movement to regulate social media platforms and protect children from potential psychological and social harms associated with early exposure to social networks.
