Blacklock’s Reporter fights on in court after bizarre ruling from judge
Canadian officialdom just can’t get past the idea that they and they alone have been gifted with the intelligence and judgment to determine what the public should hear or see on the Internet.
The best example, of course, is the Trudeau Liberals’ Online Harms Act which would empower the CRTC, the Canadian Human Rights Commission and a Digital Safety Commissioner to force internet posters and service providers to take down any post deemed by these government appointees to be offensive, dangerous or “misinformation.”
Takedown orders could be based solely on complaints from activist groups. So what do you think the online lifespan would be of a post that challenges climate change alarmism or wonders aloud how come no remains have been produced if there are “mass graves” around many residential schools?
The latest example of this we-must-protect-you-from-yourselves attitude is a ruling in late May by Federal Court Justice Yvan Roy who decided it was OK for federal civil servants to share passwords to subscriber-only content on news websites.
