Mark Zuckerberg and Meta lobby Canada for mandatory digital IDs

Mark Zuckerberg and Meta are lobbying the Canadian government to implement mandatory digital IDs. The proposed regulations would require age verification at the app store level.

This initiative comes as part of Meta"s ongoing efforts to enhance user safety and compliance with local regulations. The push for digital IDs reflects a growing trend among tech companies to address concerns related to online safety and age verification.

As previously reported, similar situations have arisen in other countries, where governments are considering or have implemented measures to regulate digital identities and online interactions. The implications of such regulations could significantly impact how users access and engage with digital platforms.

The outcome of this lobbying effort remains to be seen, but it highlights the increasing intersection of technology and government policy in the digital age.
