Canada plans social media limits for under 16
Canada has proposed a bill that restricts children and teenagers under the age of 16 from accessing social media platforms, with exemptions for tech companies that demonstrate efforts to reduce potential harm to minors. The law includes regulations on AI-powered chatbots and addresses the handling of harmful online content. Its goal is to enhance children's protection in the digital environment by establishing an independent regulatory authority and identifying seven categories of harmful content. Companies found in violation could face penalties of up to $10 million or 3% of their global revenue. This proposal follows a shooting at a school in British Columbia, during which the suspect reportedly discussed violence using ChatGPT before the attack.
