      This is gonna end up costing people their ability to have privacy online.

      „Please upload your drivers license/passport to login“

      Can’t fucking wait…

      I’ll do you one better: Restrict EVERYONE from the cancer of Social Media.
      I’m sure most will voluntarily give up their socials, they just need a catalyst.

      Honestly this is a great excuse to just get off of social media for good.

    6. BoogeyManSavage on

      The way the article is worded comes off as the companies themselves will be trusted to enforce such restrictions. I wonder if there will be fines if they don’t.

      Maybe we don’t need social media then. If they are keeping the social media corporations and just want government IDs uploaded, then it’s kind of silly.

      Finger prints, face scan, fucking blood. This is about big-tech harvesting biometrics. There is no win here. All of this will be used, abused and leaked.

      I think young children *shouldn’t* use social media, but it’s the implementation that’s going to be the problem here for everyone else.

      I’ll just VPN or buy a preverified account. I am not risking identity theft and fraud thanks.

      Good idea in theory, bad idea in practice. I’m fairly certain the digital ID conspiracy theorists are going to be proven right.

    13. GreatCanadianPotato on

      2027: We need to make sure that we prove categorically that social media users are over 18. We need mandatory Digital IDs.

      2028: This isn’t working because everyone is just using VPNs to get around it. Let’s ban VPNs.

      This is how it’s gonna go people.

      Restrict kids under 16 and seniors over 65. The amount of lunacy I see the older class spew online is borderline insane sometimes. Not to mention we’ll probably reduce a bunch of senior fraud and scams in the mean time.

      We already have dozens of parental controls to stop this. The nanny state is at it again. We have to lose freedoms because parents don’t know how to parent. One more step into totalitarianism

    19. AdSalt1747 on

      Just one step away from what the UK and other countries are doing. What will happen is social media companies will find loop holes, then Canada will implement what the UK has.

      Surprise, Surprise. Liberals giving corporations more access to our our privacy. Oh, and by the way, kids will find a way around the regulations and likely end up in far more dangerous online spaces because of it.

      These age restrictions will likely lead to mandatory age verification and age assurance for all Canadians. Mandatory age verification in unacceptable as there is no such thing as privacy protecting or anonymous age verification. Canadians deserve more privacy online, not less.

      I would recommend emailing your MP, Marc Miller (Heritage Minister and responsible for the upcoming online harms legislation), along with other Liberal Cabinet Ministers & party members, and explicitly tell them to reject mandatory age verification or age assurance.

      —

      Please take the time to demand that the government refrains from doing anything that would require mandatory age verification and age assurance, by messaging the following Cabinet ministers:

      * Marc Miller (Heritage Minister, the minister responsible for the upcoming online harms legislation): Marc.Miller@parl.gc.ca

      * Sean Fraser (Justice Minister): sean.fraser@parl.gc.ca

      * Mark Carney (Prime Minister): mark.carney@parl.gc.ca

      * Mélanie Joly (Minister of Industry): melanie.joly@parl.gc.ca

      You can find the contact info for other Liberal party members her: https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

      You don’t need to write a long message unless you really want to. Even a simple message like this can do the job (feel free to use and modify this example):

      > Subject: Protect Canadians’ Privacy: Oppose Social Media Bans That Require Age Verification

      > Dear [Minister Name],

      > I am writing to urge you to reject any legislative proposals, including youth social media bans and restrictions on AI systems, that would require online services to implement mandatory age verification or age assurance measures.

      > Such systems pose unacceptable risks to Canadians’ privacy and data security. Requiring individuals to verify their identity or age to access lawful online content creates new opportunities for data breaches, surveillance, and misuse of sensitive personal information. Canadians deserve stronger privacy protections online, not less.

      > I am also concerned by reports that the government may seek to copy Australia’s approach. Australia’s approach is not appropriate for Canada and should not be used as a precedent for policymaking here.

      > Sincerely,

      > [Your Name]

      > [City], [Province]

      If you want to cite expert opinion in your message, you can use the letter signed by over 371 experts from here that is against any form of age verification: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/dangerous-socially-unacceptable-experts-warn-153314818.html

      Why must we become a Nanny State ? Why can’t parents make the decisions about what’s best for their children ?

    24. Previous_Platform718 on

      Carney: We must reduce our dependence on the United States, we can’t keep putting the „sign in the window“

      Also Carney: Give all of Trump’s donors your government ID.

    25. No-Song6363 on

      And how are they going to implement this? Because if every damn application I use wants a picture of my ID I’m going to be very pissed off

    26. ThicccThunder on

      I can’t wait for the inevitable data breach to occur when they try to enforce ID verification for social media. I guess it’s easier to ban it then hold parents responsible for poor choices

    27. -Shanannigan- on

      „We don’t want to regulate the tech corporations predatory practices, so instead we’re giving them permission to harvest even more of your personal data to enforce a ban that won’t work“

    28. primacord on

      How about parents do their job & we stop letting the government police things. This entire “protect the kids” online bullshit is just an excuse for mass surveillance. Look at how many of these services have been hacked & peoples full government ID’s, etc have been leaked/stolen. No thank you, I can take care of my kid just fine.

    29. Kykio_kitten on

      Great so canada plans to join the UK and australia in age verifying the world. You know they’re going to use this to arrest anyone who disagrees with them.

      Is there any groups protesting this or are Canadians once again just rolling over and taking it?

    30. Minimum-Style-1411 on

      Personally, I think the age should be 18. Wondering how many Redditors will lose their accounts? Not many I suppose, until this child protection law would be passed in USA too. 

    31. Ill-Perspective-5510 on

      Social media is fine..ish. It’s algorithmic programming that needs regulations. I also don’t think it’s a bad idea to restric age to 16.

    33. penis-muncher785 on

      Anyone cheering this on is a useful idiot for authoritarianism and censorship
