Saskatchewan Seeks Public Input on Social Media Ban for Under-16s

Saskatchewan considers restricting social media for minors under 16 following public polling showing 75% support and international precedents like Australia.

  • On Monday, Premier Scott Moe announced Saskatchewan plans to consult residents on banning social media for children under 16.
  • Moe cited Australia's recent full ban for children under 16, suggesting Canada should explore similar options to limit minor usage.
  • An Angus Reid poll indicates three-quarters of more than 4,000 respondents support a ban covering TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and Threads.
  • Earlier this month, Prime Minister Mark Carney stated the issue should be debated and may involve an "age of majority" discussion within online harms legislation.
  • Other jurisdictions are also active: a Quebec legislative committee previously recommended limits for youth under 14, while Austria recently passed social media restrictions.
