British Columbia is moving to restrict the use of cellphones in schools as part of measures Premier David Eby says will help protect young people from online threats.
Eby said the government will also launch a service to remove intimate images from the internet and “pursue predators,” as well as introduce legislation to hold social media companies accountable for harms they have caused.
A statement from the province said all schools would have policies in place to restrict students’ classroom cellphone use by the start of the next school year.
It said it would work with school districts to make sure that happens.
