Canada is one of the safest places in the world for children – unless they’re online. Hear why from six Canadian moms: https://lnkd.in/gmTsRjyX

Thank you for visiting yesterday MP Leila Dance (NDP Elmwood-Transcona) and taking time to learn what children are facing online. We also learned a significant connection - Leila's babysitter was Candace Derksen, whose abduction & murder led to the creation of our agency back in 1984.

Brave families whose children have experienced immense harm on social media are fighting for our next generation. Social media must be regulated to protect our children. “What happened to these children was neither an accident nor a coincidence. It was a foreseeable result of deliberate design decisions that they make to maximize engagement over safety,” said Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of the Social Media Victims Law Center, which is handling the case. "I can't bring my child back... it's to keep other kids safe." - Carol Todd https://lnkd.in/gPjA5uxw

Big & welcome news! Ireland has published its Online Safety Code, requiring companies like Facebook, TikTok & YouTube to protect their users from online harms. “The adoption of the Online Safety Code brings an end to the era of social media self-regulation.”

Always our favourite visitor of the year!

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection Inc. (C3P) has launched a powerful new campaign, ‘Safe Spaces,’ calling for the urgent passing of Bill C-63. In the last year, C3P saw a 27% increase in reports of online sexual exploitation to Cybertip.ca. It’s clear that we must act now to create safe spaces for children online.

Canada is one of the safest places in the world for children. Unless they’re online.👨🏻💻❌ Canada's Online Harms Act, Bill C‑63, is Canada’s first comprehensive proposed law to provide children some of the protections online that they benefit from every day offline. Marsh Law Firm and Canadian Centre for Child Protection Inc. supports Canada’s Online Harms Bill (Bill C‑63) because every day they see the devastation to children and youth who have been sexually victimized online. It’s time for change.🙌🏼 Hear from six moms why: 👇🔗 https://lnkd.in/es3eRbvu

When we asked these Moms why they were willing to share their heart wrenching stories with the world, they said it's because they want to protect all kids. Your kids. Mine. Watch. Support the online harms bill. It is an absolute no brainer. Thank you to The Drum for sharing! Canadian Centre for Child Protection Inc. x No Fixed Address Inc.

Our Director of Cybertip.ca Stephen Sauer is in Croatia at the CyberGuard 2024 conference with some familiar faces, all dedicated to protecting children and survivors online.

It takes a big team to put together such a powerful campaign as Safe Spaces. All of us at C3P would like to thank the incredible moms who shared their stories, time, and bravery to help show the world the devastating impact of an unregulated internet.
