Canada has introduced Bill C-34, a proposed framework that would restrict social media access for children under 16 and establish oversight of social media and AI chatbot services.

The proposal combines child-safety measures with duties to address harmful content, and would give a digital safety commission enforcement responsibilities. Parliament must approve the bill before its requirements take effect.
