Canada moves to ban social‑media accounts for under‑16s, joining global push

Canada is seeking to ban social‑media accounts for children under 16. The proposed ban would affect all social‑media platforms operating in Canada. This initiative places Canada among nations pursuing similar age restrictions. The effort is part of a growing global movement to limit minors’ online activity. Canadian authorities intend the ban to address concerns about youth safety. The policy would require platforms to enforce the under‑16 age limit. The announcement adds momentum to international discussions on digital protection. Observers will monitor how the ban influences future regulatory actions.
