Anna Gainey Liberal
“Parents want us to protect their children from harm on social media. We are bringing in a law that bans kids under 16 from social media and forces companies to keep children safe and block harmful content.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. Parents are asking us to help protect their children from being harmed by social media and we are listening. The safe social media act implements a minimum age requirement of 16 years to access social media, and three strict duties: the duty to protect children, the duty to act responsibly and the duty to make certain content inaccessible. We are taking action because our children deserve it.”
