I will not speak at length because I have already spoken on this. I was mistaken about the groupings. I spoke earlier about how, since 2018, we have theoretically had something on the books to state we should not target minors with commercial communications. That needs to come into effect as soon as possible. I feel strongly about this matter. My amendment states, "an online safety code may prohibit the targeting at minors of commercial communications." I believe it should and that we should have stronger measures, with a full, blanket prohibition.
