Canada Considers Social Media Ban For Youth
The Liberal government in Ottawa confirmed on Jan. 27, 2026 that it is drafting new online-harms legislation potentially including age-based social media restrictions. Culture Minister Marc Miller and AI Minister Evan Solomon said no decisions are final; the move follows a 2024 online harms bill and international actions such as Australia’s December ban for under-16s. Officials and experts indicate the legislation could also address AI chatbots, deepfakes, platform takedowns and duties to protect children.
