Canada's Bill C-34 Creates Super-Regulator For Social Media And Content

Here's the 🧵:

@mgeist @KEriksenV2 If only the Liberals spent as much time and effort in improving our economy, reducing costs of living, as they do in creating new laws to govern over us and micro manage our lives.

@mgeist Judge jury and digital executioner... Practically digital fascism

As I outlined in my 🧵 on C-34 the other day, Bill C-34 is worse than expected exactly because it leaves so much power in the hands of either Cabinet or the appointed "safety" commission.

The UK, which has a similar law has used those powers to exempt Bluesky while banning X.

Is that safety or deciding which platforms have acceptable views?

@mgeist The Chair alone can be the full Commission. This is a frequent pattern in that is being exercised by this government.

@mgeist @Quea_Ali “What is Truth?” has never been more relevant to human kind… 🤞🙏❤️

@mgeist This is all about censoring dissenting voices - particularly political ones. Secret hearings are to ensure that no one knows when they censor someone and for what reason.

@mgeist Hi guys, if you’re Canadian please sign this petition opposing Bill C-34 🇨🇦 https://theccf.ca/stopc34/

@mgeist Why is Bluesky not part of the ban? This is all very dirty and political.

@mgeist Guess everyone should've listened to the conspiracy theorists hey. We all warned about shit like this - covid scam, poison injections, new world order (great reset), wef, migrant invasion, etc etc. Soon the truth tellers are going to be banned from the internet. Time to fight

@mgeist #cdnpoli #cdnmedia #cdnnews Surely the public right or left can see the problems with this????

@mgeist In Australia, this Inquisitor is called the eSafety Commissioner. Julie Inman Grant left her role at Twitter (now X) in late 2022 due to the sweeping restructuring, mass layoffs, and shift in corporate priorities initiated by new owner @elonmusk

Totally unbiased.

@mgeist @CountryGardener This latest move has entirely nothing to do with kids or safety. That’s just the grabber. This is really about shutting the door on sharing information, facts, and discussion about reality.

@mgeist Je sais pas pour vous, but this is far too much power in one body. Regulator, investigator and advocate all at once is a serious governance problem.

@mgeist

@HoCStaffer I have a problem of platform banning. They are also hitting YouTube, which has a ton of good content for educating children. That is draconian.

@mgeist @cnm5000 Elbows up and keep voting Liberal!

@mgeist This is pure and simple dictatorship worst than North Korea

@mgeist It appears to be one of those liberal laws that pretend to do something, but actually do nothing

@mgeist This is crazy. Opens the door to ID for everyone!
