“This bill lets social media companies ask for an exemption from the age ban if they can prove they are safe for children. I am asking my colleague if he agrees this is better than a full ban.”
“Mr. Speaker, platforms would be able to apply to the new digital safety commission for an exemption from the age ban if they can demonstrate that their projects are safe for children. I ask my colleague if he thinks this is the appropriate approach, rather than imposing a full ban, so that children can use social media if it can be demonstrated that it is safe to do so.”
