He says a national poll done a couple of months ago showed 75 percent of Canadians would support a social media ban for those under the age of 16.
Corner Brook MHA Jim Parsons is throwing his support behind a resolution to review changes that would protect children and youth from online harms. It was introduced in the House of Assembly this week by Opposition Leader John Hogan. Parsons is a father of two, ages 11 and 13, and believes there should also be national restrictions.
He says there is a lot of evidence of negative outcomes when young people are too involved with social media. Parsons says the resolution was unanimously supported in the House of Assembly. He says a national poll done a couple of months ago showed 75 percent of Canadians would support a social media ban for those under the age of 16.
