An Angus Reid survey says three-quarters of more than 4,000 respondents are in favour of a ban like the one in Australia, where youth under 16 are prevented from setting up accounts on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Threads.

Which province are you in? I’ve never heard of such a thing in my province?
Sign into a government website like CRA
That is Identity Verification. CRA confirms a lot more with your bank than just your age.
You’re daft. I’m done.
I’m daft for knowing that CRA and your bank verify identity by both having your social insurance number and CRA uses the bank to authenticate you because they have trouble with ensuring their own authentication is secure? As evidenced by the account issues they had a few years ago?
Sure. Then call me daft.
Like I said before, if someone can come up with a privatized way to vouch for my age (and only my age) without needing to scan and store my ID, verify my SIN, or AI “assess” my face, then great. As of right now, it doesn’t exist and I don’t trust any age restrictions on web access to not lead to such crap as “just upload a photo of your driver’s license, we pinky promise to delete it…eventually…”
The solution CRA and the banks use only works because they both store your SIN and that is their identifier. CRA just trusts that the bank is better at authentication than they are. It’s DEFINITELY not a privatized login system.
