VICTORIA — British Columbia has placed its proposed online harms legislation on hold after reaching an agreement with social media companies to"sit down in good faith" to find solutions on keeping people safer online.
His comments came after a joint statement was released from the premier and the firms Meta, TikTok, X and Snap that says they will form an online safety action table, where they'll discuss"tangible steps" toward protecting people from online harms. At the time, Eby compared social media harms to those caused by tobacco and opioids, saying the legislation was similar to previous laws that allowed the province to sue companies selling those products.
The premier said previously that companies would be shut down and their owners would face jail terms if their products were connected to harms to young people. Ryan Cleland, Carson's father, said in a statement on Tuesday that he"has faith" in Eby and the decision to suspend the legislation.
