No More TikTok? How Canada’s New Digital Safety Act Impacts Your Kids | Your Morning

Is Canada about to change the way your kids use the internet? The federal government is expected to propose a historic social media ban for anyone under 16 today as part of the resurrected Online Harms Bill. Following in the footsteps of countries like Australia, Malaysia, and Brazil, the new Digital Safety Act aims to curtail access to popular platforms to combat growing online threats and protect children's mental health. But how effective will these measures actually be, and how do Canadians feel about the government regulating their digital lives? Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, breaks down the legal and technical hurdles of the social media ban. #OnlineHarmsBill #DigitalSafetyAct #SocialMediaBan #CdnPoli #ParentingTips #DigitalPrivacy #CanadaNews #TechRegulation #MentalHealth #YouthMentalHealth Subscribe to Your Morning for the latest: http://bit.ly/2hX11GF Connect with Your Morning: https://www.ctv.ca/shows/your-morning Follow Your Morning on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yourmorningctv Start YOUR MORNING with us.
