MODERATORS
I heard about this when it was just a zany little private member's bill in the senate. The kind that represents such an obviously bad idea that it couldn't possibly go anywhere. And now it's passed second reading in the house of commons. The entire fucking NDP voted in favour. So did the Conservatives. So did some Liberals. I'm about ready to completely give up on politics in Canada.
While she is independent it should noted that Trudeau appointed her.
However, most of the Liberal MPs voted against the proposed bill, as the government has been working on its own online harms bill.
Really no one comes out of this looking like they're vested in Canadian interests. Would be interesting if this kills google monopoly.
Yep, the Liberals are in favour, they want to do it their own way.
I don't understand these laws? I mean what's the endgame why is every country in the world trying to pass these.
It appears that some people who know how to get what they want out of the average government would prefer that we all be made to verify our identity (just like they continue to try and get everyone to do on the new Twitter) before being allowed to use anything so dangerous as pornography or social media.
