Manitoba will ban youth from using social media and AI chatbots, Premier Wab Kinew announced on Saturday. The proposed law protecting youth from the harmful effects of social media will be the first of its kind in Canada. The premier said the platforms are intentionally designed to get people "addicted to the infinite scroll," contributing to mental health issues like anxiety and depression. "They're doing these very awful things to kids all in the name of a few likes, all in the name of more engagement, and all in the name of money," Kinew told 900 people at an NDP fundraising gala in Winnipe
