Google to begin using age assurance tech to identify underage accounts in Canada
Google is introducing AI-based age assurance technology in Canada to detect underage users and apply additional account protections, such as safeguarding content recommendations.

Age assurance technology is expanding globally as governments, including Canada, propose laws to restrict social media use for individuals under 16.
