EXCERPT:
One of Canada’s top constitutional freedom groups warned that a proposed social media ban for children under age 16 could create a host of “privacy-violating” rules leading to a nationwide-mandated digital ID.
Reacting to news of a social media ban proposed by the Liberal government, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) warned in an X post that the ban could lead to overreaching digital ID laws, noting that parents should be in charge of their children’s online use.
“The Justice Centre opposes government internet surveillance and the displacement of parents as the primary decision-makers responsible for protecting young people from online harms,” it said in its X statement.
