​The Consulate General of Canada in New York, the Dialogue on Technology Project, and All Tech Is Human invite you to join us on October 28, 3:30–5:30 PM, for a cross-border conversation on youth safety and digital rights online. This is an official pre-summit event for All Tech Is Human's Responsible Tech Summit.

​In June 2026, the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act - landmark legislation that would restrict social media accounts for users under 16, impose age-assurance and design obligations on platforms and AI chatbot services, and create a new Digital Safety Commission. As the bill makes its way through Parliament, it has reignited a debate familiar on both sides of the border: how to protect young people online without eroding the privacy and expressive rights of all users.

​This event brings together leading Canadian and American researchers, youth advocates, and civil liberties experts to examine what safe, rights-respecting governance of social media and AI chatbots should look like - and what lessons Canada and the U.S. can draw from each other's approaches.

​The program will feature two panel discussions followed by a networking reception. Registration is required for attendance. Please note this invitation is not transferable - reach out to the organizers if you'd like to share with a colleague.
