Ottawa veut interdire l’accès aux réseaux sociaux aux moins de 16 ans
world fr / draft
Canada's federal government is considering a law to ban social media access for people under 16 to improve online safety. However, legal experts are questioning if this law is constitutional because it might violate young people's freedom of expression. They point out potential legal flaws in the proposal. Meanwhile, the news also covers unrelated topics like a podcast winning an award for its investigation into Lyme disease. The main issue to watch is whether the government will adjust its proposal to address legal concerns, or if the ban will face significant court challenges.
