Canada Social Media Ban: Government Proposes Ban on Social Media for Under-16s and New Regulations for AI Chatbots

Canada has introduced a digital safety bill to restrict social media access for children under 16 and regulate AI chatbots. The legislation mandates strict safety standards, with non-compliance fines reaching up to 3% of global revenue. Experts suggest the law is more comprehensive than Australia's, aiming to redesign the digital ecosystem to protect youth mental health.
