"Kicking teens off platforms rather than making them safe is the wrong approach. It’s difficult to enforce bans in privacy-friendly ways, and bans don’t solve underlying issues or encourage platforms to prevent harmful behaviour,” says @patrickgrady_

Blanket bans like those in Australia have not been effective. Advocates worry that bans distract from the harder work of making the internet safer for young people. Instead, bans may even backfire by pushing teens to riskier, less regulated services. progresschamber.org/news/pro…

Canada introduced the Safe Social Media Act today, which would create a new digital safety regulator and establish new responsibilities for social media and AI chatbot platforms.

"We have technology for cars that can save lives from impaired driving. And we don’t deploy it.” @SenatorLujan underscored the urgency of using proven technologies to prevent impaired driving.
