Liberal members voted in favour of restricting young Canadians’ access to social media platforms and artificial intelligence chatbots, as the party’s national convention winds down in Montreal.
Grassroots members voted on 24 policy pitches on Saturday, ranging from health-care system improvements to electoral reform. Two proposals debated how to address the impact social media platforms and AI chatbots — tools that simulate human conversation — are having on teenagers and kids.
One resolution calls for a law similar to one Australia passed late last year that would set a “minimum age of 16 for creating social media accounts” and put the onus on companies that run the platforms to “prevent underage users from holding accounts.”
