🛡 Canada to Tighten Control Over Social Media and AI
The Canadian government is preparing a bill to protect minors. A ban on social media use for individuals under the age of 16 is expected, along with the implementation of new safety rules for AI chatbots, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. An independent digital regulator is planned to oversee compliance with these standards.
🌍 The legislation sets a new global trend for strict age restrictions on platform access and imposes additional obligations on AI developers to ensure content safety for children.
👤 Tech companies will have to implement stricter age verification mechanisms, and it may become more difficult for users to access familiar services without identity verification.
