Submission statement: The Carney government has moved to [introduce a bill](https://www.parl.ca/LegisInfo/en/bill/45-1/c-34) that will require age verification for social media and pornography. This is relevant to NL because of ongoing discussions about infringement of privacy by corporations, big tech and government legislation of the internet.
To be clear, this bill does not introduce a digital ID or auth token system like some countries have. It puts the onus on tech companies to verify age.
