加拿大的新法律对虐待儿童的材料和网上诱导严加处罚,但专家说,如果不迫使技术公司建立更安全的平台,它就无法制止剥削。 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.

法案C-16,即《保护受害者法》,规定了对拥有儿童性虐待材料的强制性最低刑罚,并针对性勒索和网上诱奸。 Bill C-16, the Protecting Victims Act, introduces mandatory minimum sentences for possession of child sexual abuse material and targets sextortion and online grooming. 尽管该法案加强了执法,但批评者认为,该法案未能解决技术平台设计和有利于剥削儿童的商业模式中的系统性问题。 While the bill strengthens enforcement, critics argue it fails to address systemic issues in tech platforms' design and business models that enable child exploitation. 告密者证据表明,像Meta这样的公司忽视了青少年安全的内部警告,推迟了增长改善,并维持了薄弱的保护。 Whistleblower evidence shows companies like Meta ignored internal warnings about teen safety, delayed improvements for growth, and maintained weak protections. 专家强调,如果没有政府授权的按设计进行的安全改革,单靠个人惩罚无法阻止普遍的伤害。 Experts stress that without government-mandated safety-by-design reforms, individual penalties alone won’t stop widespread harm.
