Social media posts deemed to undermine “social stability” would be subject to blocking orders by a federal censor under Bill #C34 introduced yesterday. “The law applies as soon as it comes into force.”

BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country.
Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison.
The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption.
That means:
• Every image scanned
• Every message inspected
• Every video analyzed
All directly on your phone.
Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data.
Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes.
In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach.
Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device.
Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.

Ban kids from the mall and they'll hang out in the ally behind the mall.
Ban kids from the big social media platforms, the ones that invest the most in safety and moderation, and kids will just go to sketchier platforms.
Governments know this. They only do it to force online IDs.

Aujourd’hui, notre gouvernement a déposé une nouvelle loi pour protéger nos enfants en ligne. La Loi sur les médias sociaux sécuritaires du Canada rendra les médias sociaux et les plateformes d’IA responsables et plus sûrs, et interdira l’accès aux réseaux sociaux aux enfants de moins de 16 ans.
De plus en plus d'enfants souffrent d’anxiété, de dépression, d’automutilation et d’exploitation. Pour assurer la sécurité de nos enfants, nous devons veiller à ce que nos lois suivent le rythme des progrès technologiques.

you're actually serious.

Today, our government introduced new legislation to protect our kids online. Canada's Safe Social Media Act will hold social media and AI platforms accountable, make them safer, and restrict access to social media for children under 16.
More and more kids are suffering from anxiety, depression, self-harm, and exploitation. To keep our kids safe, we have to ensure that our laws keep up with technology.
Community note
Similar laws elsewhere (e.g., Australia’s attempts) have shown the same issue: age-gating often leads to ID/biometric collection for everyone. childrenofthestreet.com and ultimately a major privacy issu
