Meta’s U.S. Kids Rules vs Canada’s Ban | Edmonton News
Description
Meta just agreed to an $18 billion U.S. settlement to overhaul how young users are treated on its platforms, introducing strict new rules like a two-hour daily screen time cap for teens, midnight-to-6AM access blocks, and hidden like counts—all set to last a decade in the U.S. Meanwhile, Canada’s Bill C-34 pushes for a social media ban for under-16s, demanding platforms adopt safety-by-design features and even creating a new digital safety commission to enforce it—with potential exemptions if companies prove they’ve got solid safeguards. Meta says these U.S. changes are a starting point, and they’re calling on global rivals like TikTok and YouTube to join them in building safer digital spaces for kids.
