Hot off election, Liberals promise to introduce three internet regulation bills
Liberal government is expected to introduce — or in some cases, revisit — three pieces of legislation that could significantly change the landscape of the Canadian internet.
OH no!
Pledge #1: Expand the Broadcasting Act to include streaming services (Bill C-10)
…
Bill C-10 would expand the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)’s jurisdiction to include media sharing and streaming platforms like Netflix, YouTube and Spotify.
…
For example, Bill C-10 could require a company like Netflix to ensure its catalogue always contains a certain amount of Canadian content, and direct a percentage of its production funds towards supporting Canadian films and online series.
And we have seen how horrible it has been with the CRTC, and they want to expand in to include online content?
Pledge #2: Create new rules to reduce “harmful online content” (Bill C-36)
…
The bill identifies five categories of “harmful online content” that the government would address via the creation of multiple new regulatory bodies.
The five categories are “terrorist content,” “content that incites violence,” “hate speech,” “child sexual exploitation content,” and the “non-consensual distribution of intimate images (NCDII).”
With such vague language, it can trap countless innocent people.
Pledge #3: Require that digital news-sharing platforms support Canadian media
…
The bill would force online platforms that turn a profit from the publication and sharing of news content — think Google, Facebook and Twitter — to redirect some of that revenue to Canadian news media outlets.
Like what happened in Australia? Force the technology monopolies to subsidize their legacy media.
As if our state media (CBC) does not already get too much tax-payer funds to produce so much garbage.
October 2, 2021 at 9:27 pm #242820They did this in the United States and it was all for censoring. I write books and I use software to track online sources. I am working on conspiracy book(s). In 2017, the United States rolled out bills to stop “sex trafficking” and “sex crimes”. The day the bill went into effect, at literally midnight, half my sources disappeared in my software and none had anything to do with sexual stuff.
Videos about Sandy Hook, Vegas, etc… all disappeared instantly. I am not talking about just a few. I had thousands of sources about things. Official government documents. Videos. Interviews. All vanished. But the government used the “sex crimes” angle to manipulate the masses because Americans are easily manipulated by sex things.
In fact, that latest push by Apple to stop child porn is actually a way to set people up. That is what it will be actually used for. Think about it logically. Could you defend yourself if someone from Apple said you had pictures on your phone?
No, you could not. You are instantly guilty.

October 3, 2021 at 4:32 pm #242889The Internet spans different legal jurisdictions.
This means, in actuality, say for example, an individual country cannot really take control over say a website like Facebook. Well, Facebook might be a bad example for too many reasons, long story believe me.
But one of the crazy things about the Internet is it is everywhere or at least many places.
So, for example, what I mean is that a website can be hosted, mirrored, etc, on different computer servers which can be in different countries.
Now, I’m not saying countries cannot order internet service providers (ISP), domain name servers (DNS), virtual proxy networks (VPN), websites, corporations, companies, etc, to block websites for example. Countries may come up with laws relating to copyright, patents, trademarks, Bitcoin, money related things, cryptocurrency related things. Countries may say they are banning hate speech and other things too. Some countries do try to ban Bitcoin for example.
I am only here to say there is a difference between what should be and what is.
I know I might be pointing out the obvious in regards to how crazy the Internet is and how crazy governments, big tech, corporations, big pharma, etc, can become. I think a lot of people don’t understand how the Internet works. Edward Snowden has said a lot about how the Internet works for example. So, I kind of wanted to briefly say that some rules, laws, bills, etc, can be or is in actuality illegal from a constitutional perspective or from the perspective of natural rights which do not come from government but from God or from the universe or whatever.
October 3, 2021 at 5:47 pm #242905Well, China has been able to CENSOR the internet, as have other tyrannical regimes.
The EU has the “right to be removed” those those pages are censored from the EU’s internet.
And we have seen content BLOCKED for not being within a national’s borders (IP addresses – ie. web-isodes from BSG, etc).
*** *** ***
As for the agruements about constitution, human rights, etc.
It is NOT the same across the globe.
Some nations have it that they will broadcast beheadings, forced amputations, and calls for the enslavement of every female and everyone who does not follow their belief system.
Yet twatter allows them to spread their hate with their platform.
Some nations regularly censor their citizens over not going along with their propaganda (CCP).
The tech giants CAN and HAVE followed the laws of the nations they want to offer their services in, as much as they want to be ABOVE the LAWS.
