New child safety measures Meta pledged in U.S. settlement not coming to Canada
Meta, in its U.S. legal settlement, has promised new child protection measures for its Facebook and Instagram platforms. However, these changes will not be implemented in Canada. The company agreed to introduce safety features such as daily time limits that require parental permission to disable, eliminate push notifications during weekday school hours, and implement stronger age-assurance measures.
Meanwhile, Canada has proposed a new digital safety bill that would require social media platforms to block access for kids under 16.
