John-Paul Danko Liberal
“I agree with the member. As a parent, I worry about how much data social media collects on our children. Kids also need more time outside. What are other parents saying about this?”
“Mr. Speaker, I was listening closely to the member opposite’s speech, and as a parent of an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old, I really agree with pretty much everything that he had to say here. That is a rare occurrence in this House. One of the things that I think about quite often is that my kids grew up with social media from day one, so the amount of data and information that has been collected from their lives when they are posting and when they are contributing on those platforms is really concerning. We see dystopian movies where targeted ads follow people around. I think some of the members’ comments about unstructured play, getting outside and touching grass are also really important for youth. I would like to know his comments on what he is hearing from other parents.”
