British Columbia Attorney General David Eby is calling on Meta to extend its new protections for children using its platforms to Canada. The request is made in response to Meta’s announced rules aimed at limiting certain content and data practices involving minors.
In a statement reported by Canadian outlets, Eby says the same level of safeguards should apply to children in Canada as those Meta is set to provide for children in the United States. The coverage centers on whether Meta will adopt consistent measures across jurisdictions, rather than only where the rules originate.
The accounts align on the core message: the attorney general is urging Meta to implement comparable child-focused protections in Canada. However, the reports focus on different contextual framing—one highlights the Canadian scope of the call, while the other places it explicitly in a “should extend to Canada” discussion from the provincial government perspective. Both treat the issue as a policy and compliance matter for Meta, rather than as an individual legal case.
