Show Notes
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe advocates for a social media ban on kids under sixteen, citing a poll showing Canadian support. Australias lead in blocking under-sixteens from apps like TikTok and Facebook inspires Moes proposal. The goal is to protect youth mental health amid issues like cyberbullying and addiction. However, experts caution that a ban might not fix mental health woes and could cut vital connections, especially in rural areas. The poll shows many think parents should regulate over governments, but Sarda pushes for a public health angle like rules on smoking or drinking. Talks in the province could start soon, as the debate heats up.
