The changes come one day after Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey resigned to usher in a new era under free-speech foe and new CEO Parag Agrawal, who, while he served as Twitter’s chief technology officer, expressed disregard for the First Amendment.
I often feel like I’m banging my head against the wall, trying to get through to complacent Canadians, who seem to politely accept anything the government throws their way, no questions asked.
Back in 2016, I was one of the lone voices who spoke out against Bill C-16, Canada’s gender-identity legislation, testifying at the Senate that enshrining gender identity in law would likely result in the nullification of women’s sex-based rights. All my fears came to fruition – and more – as males who identify as ‘transwomen’ are being transferred to women’s prisons, allowed access to shelters for women escaping domestic abuse, permitted to use women’s and girls’ changing rooms and washrooms, and dictating what women may and may not say about all of this.
The Biden administration is seeking to radically narrow the boundaries of respectable American political thought. The administration has repeatedly issued statements and reports that could automatically castigate citizens who distrust the federal government. We may eventually learn that the new Biden guidelines spurred a vast increase in federal surveillance and other abuses against Americans who were guilty of nothing more than vigorous skepticism.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Rodriguez made the comment Tuesday in response to a question about Bill C-10, a sweeping update to Canada’s Broadcasting Act that critics have called an attempt to regulate Canadians publishing content online.
Former Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commissioner Timothy Denton has some very direct words for Canadians regarding our Liberal Government’s proposed Internet Censorship legislation.
A prominent human rights group is leveling some serious concerns over Canada’s proposed online hate speech legislation.
Penned by B’nai Brith Canada, a report entitled How Social Media Algorithms Fuel Hate Speech And Misinformation says the new rules are so far-reaching it would do a better job censoring fair and legitimate comment over actually battling online hate.
“You have to have new ground rules for the media. They have to stop treating Republicans like normal politicians. They are not normal politicians … This is a party that spends its entire time cooking up ridiculous culture memes and fanning violence and coming up with outright lies,” Rubin said during an interview with MSNBC.
The Aspen Institute Commission on Information Disorder released a number of recommendations Monday, which included calling upon the Biden administration to have an “apolitical team” (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) develop a national strategy to tackle the issue. The group said that although the federal government has recognized the effects of false and misleading information “on public health, elections, businesses, technology, and continued campaigns on communities of color,” it has failed to create a strategy or put leadership on the problem.
Existing laws already give the government the ability to confront hate both online & offline. Power-hungry politicians like Trudeau ignore that reality, in order to ‘justify’ restricting your right to speak freely.
Public health officials and politicians continue to be targeted by the anti-vaccine movement, and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) told Global News that increasingly violent online rhetoric around the “arrest and execution of specific individuals” is a growing cause for concern.
When it comes to communications regulation, let’s be clear: the election did not give Justin Trudeau’s government a mandate to continue messing with free speech on the Internet.

“The federal government is using its power to silence and intimidate American citizens,” said conservative talk radio host and author Mark Levin, who released a bombshell letter on his program Thursday. “They’re trying to chill free speech.”
"They just say, “You’re a terrorist,” because when someone says you’re a terrorist, everything could be done against you. There is no definition, and I have a big problem with that.” @MohamedouOuld pic.twitter.com/ucVeoXUThn
