黑料网爆吃瓜

January 29, 2026 | Speaking with CBC's The Current, Taylor Owen argued that banning social media for children under 14 is neither feasible or effective, despite growing concerns about the harms young people face online. While acknowledging serious risks, such as mental health impacts and exposure to age-inappropriate content, Owen emphasized that social media also provides real benefits for youth, much as it does for adults.

Owen described an outright ban as "draconian," warning that it would be difficult to enforce in Canada and would place responsibility on young users rather than on companies that design unsafe products. He pointed to the need for a Canadian regulatory framework, as it was the core elements of the former Online Harms Act, which would require risk assessments and age-appropriate design.聽

He stressed that governments already have the tools to act, but lack the political will to hold companies accountable.聽
