Bill 232: Social Media Responsibility Act

This bill directly targets companies that operate social media platforms — think large tech businesses like Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, or X — that have users in Nova Scotia. If your platform allows people to post content and interact with other users online, you'll need to implement age-verification or age-restriction systems to keep kids under 16 off your service. The compliance burden falls on the platform provider regardless of where they're based, as long as Nova Scotia residents can access the service. Smaller or niche social platforms that allow user interaction and content posting are equally caught by this law, not just the big players.
