Stop the harm. Heal childhood. Keep our kids safe online
Social media services, AI chatbots, and unregulated internet spaces are harming our children’s physical and mental health. Canada has introduced legislation for increased online safeguards for children, holding these services more accountable for preventing harm.
Sign your name and stand with Canada’s doctors – demand stronger protections for children online.
Stand with
Canada’s doctors
Canadian doctors see the symptoms of online harm every day – depression, anxiety, self-harm, loneliness. Digital platforms prioritize profit over our children’s safety, subjecting them to misinformation, mental health strain, and physical safety risks. It’s time to do something to stop it.
The Canadian Medical Association supports
the introduction of the Safe Social Media Act.
We believe in protecting childhood with safer online experiences for Canadian children. Bill C-34 demands stronger regulations for social media and AI chatbots, plus more accountability from digital platforms for false and predatory information.
