Summary
The government just unveiled a flurry of digital bills before summer break — including a sweeping AI strategy, a social media ban for kids under sixteen, and a landmark privacy law. Platforms will soon be forced to block teens unless they’ve got ironclad safety measures, overseen by a new Digital Safety and Data Protection Commission. Meanwhile, AI chatbots won’t have age restrictions — but they’ll be held to higher safety standards. The privacy bill grants citizens the right to demand data deletion, even for deepfakes, and lets the commission fine companies up to $25 million. A separate bill now criminalizes non-consensual sexual deepfakes. On the funding front, Canada’s pouring $2 billion into AI training and job creation, while streamers get direct government support instead of triple fees. All bills still need full legislative approval — and the new regulator won’t be fully operational for years. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
