The federal government is expected to introduce legislation banning social media for Canadians under the age of 16, with exemptions for platforms that meet certain government safety requirements, although those details are not yet known.
To be sure, many Canadians are concerned about the impact of social media on young people. However, a blanket social media ban implemented by the government is not the solution. Social media access for youth should remain the domain of parents, not government. Parents are best equipped to determine how their children use social media in alignment with their values and risk tolerance.
Social media restrictions require age verification. This means that all Canadians, not just youths under 16, will have to verify their identities in order to access the affected platforms. This in turn will mean that all Canadians will be forced to surrender their private information to governments and technology companies - often in foreign jurisdictions - in order to use the platforms they use every day for business, leisure, and connection. Once again, Canadians face the problem of privacy-violating digital identity technologies in the name of public safety.
The Justice Centre opposes government internet surveillance and the displacement of parents as the primary decision-makers responsible for protecting young people from online harms.

🇮🇳🔪🇨🇦👁️ : The Canadian government imported extortion gangs, terrorists and violent criminals for a decade.
Now the Liberals say police can't tackle the surge in extreme crime, without Bill C-22.
See how that works folks? Import the crisis, then use it to pass a Bill that strips away our privacy freedom.
The Liberals want data centers to track everything you do. Something I have spoken about routinely. Bill C-22 allows them to do that.
In order to get such a dystopian Bill passed, they had to foster extreme crime & terrorism, where there was none before.
Mark Carney is so out of touch with reality he wore a $3000 suit and his little Canadian knighthood pin and his wife wore Chanel to a photo op at a Food Basics during a recession.
And people defend him.
“Antisemites don’t separate antizionism from Jew hatred—it is part and parcel. For this reason, Canada’s continuing hostility towards Israel in foreign policy only encourages neo-antisemitism at home.” https://t.co/LHW2bKREZi
Rain or shine, it was a pleasure to meet local artists, small businesses, and the true Canadian talent on display at Calgary’s 4th Street Lilac Festival with MP @GregMcLeanYYC.
Joined Calgary’s Jewish community with MPs @shuvmajumdar and @DMcKenzieCPC to stress our Conservative plan to enforce the law, deport visiting terrorists and hate-mongers, and restore safety to our communities.
Canada must once again be a country where Jewish families can live and worship freely and proudly, without fear.
