Youth

During question period, a Liberal member asked the government what it is doing to protect children online, citing figures that one in four Canadians aged 12 to 17 has experienced cyberbullying and that victimized youth are more likely to have suicidal thoughts. A Liberal minister replied that parents are asking for help protecting children from harm on social media and pointed to the safe social media act, which would set a minimum age of 16 for social media use and impose duties on companies to keep children safe and address harmful content.Written by AI from the debate.
