Canada Considers Banning Youth From Social Media

Canada is reportedly considering banning youth from social media as Ottawa explores measures to protect children from cyberbullying, addiction, child sexual abuse material, and mental-health harms, outlets reported recently. In an interview, Josh Tabish of Chamber of Progress argues bans are poor policy, citing age-verification risks and reduced platform incentives, and recommends digital literacy, age-appropriate design, parental controls, and incentive-based regulation.
