Canada’s social media ban for kids may narrow. Experts say that’s good

Government officials in Canada are reportedly considering a revision to the country's social media ban for kids, which has been in place to protect young users from online harms. Experts believe this move could be a positive development, as it could incentivize social media platforms to improve their designs and implement more effective measures to protect children. The proposed change aims to use the ban as a leverage to push platforms to develop safer online environments, with the expectation that children will eventually return to social media. If implemented, this approach could lead to the development of more child-friendly platforms, ultimately benefiting both children and their parents.
