TLC Lab Director Dr. Adam Dubé joined Australia’s ABC Radio National Breakfast to discuss Canada’s proposed Safe Social Media Act and its implications for protecting children and young people online.

The interview explored how Canada is approaching online safety through a proposed legal duty of care that would require social media platforms to take responsibility for identifying and reducing risks to users, rather than relying on voluntary safety measures.

The discussion comes as Australia considers its own digital duty of care legislation, raising important questions about how governments can hold technology companies accountable for the safety of their platforms.

Dr. Dubé's participation reflects the TLC Lab’s ongoing research and policy engagement on children’s digital experiences, online safety, and the responsibilities of technology companies in creating safer digital environments.
