Canada is finally asking the right question about children, social media, and AI: who is accountable when powerful digital systems predictably harm young people?
We need stronger platform duties, safer design, and real enforcement.
But we also need to protect children without normalizing surveillance, censorship, or false safety.
That is the test.

ICO Cookie Crackdown 2.0: The ICO’s New Storage and Access Technologies Guidance https://www.zwillgen.com/eu-uk/ico-cookie-crackdown-2-icos-new-storage-access-technologies-guidance/
My experience witH the #ICO is that they may have all these rules and regulations but they don’t follow them up or enforce them. 99.9% of websites fail on the PECR either by
• using cookie popups that make it much more difficult to opt out than to agree
• classifying cookies wrongly ( especiall saying marketing/tracking cookies are essential)
• using GoogleTagManager without gaining approval
• using Google’s reCAPTCHA without approval (something the ICO explicitly states is not allowed)
The ICO needs to spend less time publishing documents and more time punishing wrongdoers.
According to https://twistedtoys.5rightsfoundation.com/
• 100% of the largest 12 social media companies with the most worldwide active users track your location data.
• Tech companies such as Facebook and Netflix know what your sexuality is or if you’re pregnant, before you tell your parents.
• 72 million data-points will be collected on a child before they turn 13 years old. Source.
• In 2019, 76.04% of the most popular web pages for mental health information contained third-party trackers for marketing purposes.

It starts with scanning photos. But if the OS has to scan 3rd party apps, this means it can scan EVERYTHING that is done on the phone.
There is no trust between users and BigTech or the Government because they have proved, time and time again, a total lack of competence in securing our data and a surprising speed of scope creep in using that data. And, as Thom Aster points out, this has not been through Parliament. This is one man making a statement on the TV.
The Government cost the tax payer a lot of money but seem incapable of approaching any tech issue without resorting to greater levels of surveillance. Come on chaps, put some thought into it.
@rob199 slightly ironic that i was reading an article on how nobody can remain anonymous anymore and have to “enter my email address to continue reading”.
