Legal experts say Canada’s proposed social media ban for kids leaves many questions unanswered — including whether it would violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Last week, the federal government tabled Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act, which would force social media platforms to restrict accounts for children under 16 unless the platforms can implement adequate safeguards to protect them.
Lawyers and law professors are raising flags about gaps in the legislation that could leave Canada open to legal challenges.
