The Canadian government is planning to implement new dangerous content moderation rules -- and a new speech czar with broad powers to enforce them. eff.org/deeplinks/2021…
@EFF Platforms will likely be forced to rely on automated filters to assess and discover "harmful" content on their platforms, and users caught up in these sweeps could end up on file with the local cops—or with Canada’s national security agencies. eff.org/deeplinks/2021…
@EFF This is dangerous for everyone, but especially marginalized groups. Faced with expansive and vague moderation obligations, little time for analysis, and major legal consequences if they guess wrong, companies inevitably over censor—and users pay the price.
@EFF This law is dangerous to internet speech, privacy, security, and competition. We hope our friends in the Great White North agree, and raise their voices to send it to the scrap heap of bad internet ideas from around the globe. eff.org/deeplinks/2021…
