Canada moves to prohibit social‑media accounts for users under 16, aligning with global trend

Canada is proposing a ban on social‑media accounts for children under 16. The measure is part of a broader global push for age restrictions. The Sen Times reported the government’s intent. The policy would prevent minors from creating accounts. Officials argue it aims to protect young users online. The proposal adds Canada to countries pursuing similar rules. Critics may raise concerns about enforcement and freedom of expression. The next steps involve legislative debate and possible implementation.
