Platforms could get exemptions if they prove safety measures exist—but critics warn age verification could become a massive privacy breach, exposing millions of adults’ data. Inspired by Australia’s similar law, which struggled with enforcement, Canada’s plan faces hurdles: safety standards may not be ready in time, and the whole system could collapse without proper regulation. While the intent is noble—safer online spaces for kids—the practicalities raise serious concerns about privacy, enforcement, and whether this will be more symbolism than substance.
