Canada is moving to restrict social media access for children under 16, following similar actions in Australia and the United Kingdom. The proposed legislation aims to protect young people from potential harms associated with online platforms. Alongside the social media restrictions, Canada is also planning to introduce regulations for artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots. Details of the AI chatbot regulations were not immediately available. The move reflects growing global concerns regarding the impact of social media and AI on youth mental health and well-being. The Canadian government has not yet announced a timeline for the implementation of these new rules. This legislation is expected to face debate regarding its enforceability and potential impact on freedom of expression.
