While there should be “debate” in Canada about a social media ban for children, Prime Minister Mark Carney says he has not made up his own mind on the issue yet.
“Protect the kids” is just the current excuse to erode privacy and implement further government surveillance measures. If this was truly about protecting children they’d be regulating social media companies to stop them from being so harmful in the first place.
“Monitor your kids” hasn’t really been good enough and now we are seeing literal cognitive decline due to social media use in youth. I agree that global age verification is a privacy violation, but there ARE genuine problems with unrestricted social media use for youth.
Seriously, just be an actual parent to your children and let adults be able to enjoy things without everything being censored to shit because you use the internet as a babysitter.
I’m still confused as to how this has anything to do with the population at large. Monitor your fucking kids.

Websites who can’t handle the data without getting hacked should not be asking for my government ID.
Stop preying on kids you degenerate pedos
