Liberal party adopts motion to restrict kids from social media

Federal Liberals have agreed to set 16 as the age of majority for Canadians to be able to use social media accounts.

Party grassroots passed a non-binding resolution Saturday morning for the restriction and to place the onus on social media companies to enforce it.

Quebec MP Rachel Bendayan says prolonged social media use is harmful to the mental health of young Canadians.

She says social media companies need to be more accountable and stop allowing young children to use technologies designed to be addictive.
