Should Canada ban social media for teens?
The Australian government has introduced a world-first nationwide ban on social media for individuals under 16, aiming to protect youth from online harms.
The legislation shifts responsibility to social media platforms rather than parents or youth.
Similar measures are being implemented elsewhere: Florida will prohibit social media for children under 14 in 2025, while Québec and Ontario have banned cell phones in classrooms to address disruptions in youth education.
Guest: Dr. Christopher Dietzel - Postdoctoral fellow at the DIGS Lab at Concordia University
