flag Canada’s new law imposes strict penalties for child abuse material and online grooming, but experts say it won’t stop exploitation without forcing tech companies to build safer platforms.

flag Bill C-16, the Protecting Victims Act, introduces mandatory minimum sentences for possession of child sexual abuse material and targets sextortion and online grooming. flag While the bill strengthens enforcement, critics argue it fails to address systemic issues in tech platforms' design and business models that enable child exploitation. flag Whistleblower evidence shows companies like Meta ignored internal warnings about teen safety, delayed improvements for growth, and maintained weak protections. flag Experts stress that without government-mandated safety-by-design reforms, individual penalties alone won’t stop widespread harm.
