Liberals debate social media, AI ban for kids

The Liberal party policy convention in Montreal is debating proposals to ban social media and AI chatbots for Canadians under 16. One resolution targets AI tools like ChatGPT, while another mirrors Australia's law holding platforms liable for underage accounts. Polling shows strong public support, with 75 per cent of Canadians backing a social media ban for under-16s. Australia has already removed 4.7 million underage accounts since implementing its ban, and Massachusetts recently became the first U.S. state to pass similar legislation.
