In this Comment Nation, Josephine Mathias argues that Justin Trudeau adding “freedom from hate and violent extremism” into his new Digital Charter is almost surely to create problems when it comes to free speech online.
Frankly Josephine, I don't trust our Prime Minister and his government to do ANYTHING anymore.
It is no way a government's job to censor internet. This JT government doesn't own internet.
Mr. “The story in this morning’s Globe & Mail is false.” is going to be the arbiter of truth? Um, no.
Would this be considered hate?
well said you freaking gorgeous woman.
michael_house9 It’s not something the government is good at. Stick to roads and hospitals.
I wouldn't trust him to wash my car.
Yes I would even trust Trudeau with my bank account.
not likely !
michael_house9 Nope absolutely not he is an expert in spreading it!
U don't manage people's lives by controlling their free speech. There are simply too many unintended consequences. Remember the term going postal? People have lines where they break. People don't trust modern govts & people need the freedom 2 hate something. It just feels good.🍻
michael_house9 Nope. I don’t trust Trudeau at all.
If I hate Trudeau and I mention that to someone is that hate speech?
ezralevant I wouldn't trust that idiot to tie his own shoes...
Hitlers Propaganda Ministry, assumed control over the German Press, the association kept registries of “racially pure” editors and journalists, and excluded Jews. Propaganda Ministry officials required editors and journalists, to register with the Reich. Sound familiar?
ezralevant Trudeau’s government has totalitarian aspirations regarding the monitoring and censorship of Canadians’ social media. Combined with that the feds are constructing a “government-approved” list of media outlets
I can’t think of anything I trust Trudeau with at all.
NameIsJosephine Well said NameIsJosephine
ezralevant Suppressing Internet hate is the excuse used to make the law. Just like America delivering Democracy to Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela and now Iran. All it is, is an excuse!
When will this policing of peoples feelings and expression of dislike end.
mogrant61 Not him, not Jerry Dias
Josephine poses a lot of great questions. It’s a brave new digital world & a lot of the creators of tech either did not, or cared not to, ask these questions before putting tech in the hands of the public. Perhaps the legislation is a means to bring those questions to the table.
CDNs never had an appetite to have govt censor our internet, same way as we didn’t need them to purchase a pipeline, or have questionable union types select worthy media to receive funding
Unfortunately we’ve already seen examples of how he censors with lavSvam and removal of janephilpott and Puglaas. This, along with media handouts are thinly veiled attempts to stack election in his favour. And democracy? Gone. Enough! TrudeauMustGo
Governments who grant freedom are governments who take it away. True freedom is protection from the government.
I don’t trust Government. Period. cdnpoli
Do you trust a libertarian free market solution to censor internet hate? I sure don't. If the discourse is not regulated to exclude bad faith actors the market will push bad faith ideas to the top--which doesn't make them better.
smarmyEOD Yeeeaaahhhhh......NO!
never
i don't trust this guy at all and cant wait until he is gone.
Conservative hate won’t be censored
Pay little heed, he'll be gone in 5 months & we're at the stage right now of simply letting the clock run out in spite of the barriers being thrown in the way by the Liberals.
I don't trust anyone to censor anything.
Worst guy for that job
Do you trust that Scheer won't make it worse?
Pay me $600 million, I’m all good with whatever
