""They're doing these very awful things to kids all in the name of a few likes, all in the name of more engagement, and all in the name of money. Our kids will never be for sale and their attention and their childhoods should never be profited from.""
""Kinew didn't elaborate on the ban's crucial details, like the specific age restriction, when it will be introduced nor how it will be enforced.""
""A recent poll from the Molly Rose Foundation has cast some doubt on the effectiveness of such laws, which other countries have also adopted or are currently considering.""
Manitoba's premier, Wab Kinew, announced a proposal for a social media and AI chatbot ban for youth. The specifics of the ban, including age restrictions and enforcement methods, remain unclear. Kinew emphasized the negative impact of social media on children, stating that their attention and childhood should not be exploited for profit. Other Canadian political parties are also considering similar restrictions. A recent poll indicates that many teens continue to use banned platforms, raising questions about the effectiveness of such laws.
