The National Post reports in its Tuesday, March 31, edition that Canadians support banning social media for anyone under the age of 16. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that an Angus Reid survey says three-quarters of more than 4,000 respondents are in favour of a ban like the one in Australia, where youth under 16 are prevented from setting up accounts on Tiktok, Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Snapchat and Threads. The survey also comes on the heels of a ruling in California last week ordering Meta and YouTube to pay millions in damages to a 20-year-old woman after a jury decided the platforms were designed to be addictive. Social media age restrictions are on the agenda at the Liberals' national convention next month, with calls to put the onus on tech platforms to prevent underage users from having accounts. However, the majority of those who support a full ban also believe that parents should be primarily responsible for regulating teens' social media use, not governments. The survey was conducted on-line between March 11 and 17. On-line surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.
