From Global News–Six Canadian mothers are sharing their children’s stories of online sexual abuse in Safe Spaces, a new campaign by the Canadian Centre for Child Protection demanding urgent action for the online harms bill.
Bill C-63 proposes to address online harms by requiring social media platforms to meet specific safety standards, remove illegal content and be more transparent about their users and data collection practices. The bill is currently at second reading in the House of Commons.
“There has to be some rules and guidelines in place to help ensure that people’s experience online is safe, particularly children,” says Monique St. Germain, general counsel for the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (C3P).
