Manitoba's Social Media Ban Could Bar Teachers Using YouTube in the Classroom, Says Kinew As governments across Canada consider restrictions on social media for minors, a trend is emerging: rather than addressing online harm directly, policymakers are increasingly resorting to outright bans.
Manitoba's recent move to restrict social media and AI chatbots for kids under 16 has sparked controversy among educators and tech industry insiders.
Premier Wab Kinew's remarks on CBC's The House last weekend drew criticism when he suggested that teachers using YouTube in the classroom would no longer be permissible, citing concerns over features like autoplay and recommendation engines.
