Prime Minister Mark Carney is reportedly considering stronger age-verification measures and potential restrictions on social media access for users under 16 as concerns grow around youth mental health, online safety, cyberbullying, and excessive screen time.

If introduced, the proposal could significantly change how young Canadians access platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube and X.
Supporters say the move would help protect children online, while critics argue it raises questions about privacy, parental rights, and digital freedom.
