Manitoba plans on implementing a social media and AI chatbot ban for everyone under the age of 16 – but a local tech blogger says all provinces and territories have to be on board in order for it to work.

Premier Wab Kinew announced his government’s plans over the weekend, but there are no details on when such a ban could be implemented.

Kevin Andrews says it would be difficult for one province to try to enforce such a ban without similar bans in other jurisdictions.

“So I would think it would either be all of the provinces are in, or none of them in to really be able to enforce something like this.”
