Ottawa is “very seriously” considering a social media ban for children and youth as a key part of addressing online harms, Culture Minister Marc Miller says.
Miller was questioned about the likelihood of such a ban by reporters in Ottawa this week, just days after members at the Liberal party convention in Montreal passed a non-binding resolution urging the government to establish 16 as the minimum age to access social media accounts.
