The Manitoba government will move to ban children from using social media accounts and artificial intelligence chatbots, Premier Wab Kinew told fellow New Democrats on Saturday night.
Kinew told some 900 people at a party fundraiser that the province plans to protect kids from technology platforms that he says hurt their development.
