Canada’s proposed Bill C-34, referred to as the Digital Safety Act and the Safe Social Media Act, combines child-protection rules with broader digital-platform oversight.

Its measures include restricting social-media access for under-16s, requiring platforms to address harmful content, and creating a regulator to oversee compliance and complaints. The proposal also sets safety and transparency expectations for AI chatbot services, including how companies mitigate harmful interactions and handle situations involving risks of harm. Together, these provisions raise practical questions about age checks, platform safeguards, exemptions, enforcement, and how different kinds of AI services should be regulated.
