The kids’ social media ban gets the headlines, but my post argues Bill C-34’s most consequential element may be the Commission, a super-regulator overseeing the system with its own rules of evidence, potentially secret hearings, and wide-ranging powers. michaelgeist.ca/2026/06/thec…

Tens of millions of Canadians will be required to age verify to use social media when the ban launches. My post on how the government plans to implement it without standards, privacy review, or an enforcement mechanism with potential exemptions years away. michaelgeist.ca/2026/06/the-…

Two problems with age verification: 1) Studies show it can lead to dramatic “bounce” rates. Users often don’t want to go through the process, especially when the content they’re trying to access is sensitive or the process is onerous. 2) Right now, we don’t need to show credentials to access much of the digital world. That’s true in much of the physical world, too. But if some proposed age-verification protocols go into effect, the default may become showing your papers to use the internet. Professor Eric Goldman’s conclusion below is worth considering, and his full write-up is worth your time.
