Bill 137: Keeping Our Kids Safe Online Act, 2026

The businesses most directly affected are technology companies, social media platforms, and AI chatbot providers — particularly those whose products are used in or marketed toward Ontario schools. If the recommended bans and accountability measures are adopted following the committee's report, these companies could face restrictions on school-based access to their platforms and new liability frameworks for harms to minors. School boards across Ontario will also need to operationalize any approved ban, which touches day-to-day decisions about classroom technology tools and IT procurement. Mental health service providers working with children may see increased funding opportunities if the committee's recommendations around technology-related addiction are implemented.
