Here is why I think this govt is the most anti-Internet we’ve seen: the @S_Guilbeault online harms bill will target all content anywhere if available in Canada with blocking orders and mandated takedowns within 24 hours. No public consult on the bill. 1/5 https://twitter.com/mgeist/status/1383048582257840128
Online harms bill is only part of the @S_Guilbeault plan. Copyright website blocking, Bill C-10’s Internet regulation provisions that put the CRTC in charge of online content, news payments for linking. All with limited or no public consultation. 2/5 https://twitter.com/mgeist/status/1383048582257840128
Meanwhile, Innovation Minister @FP_Champagne has abandoned privacy reform, ignored his own study on copyright reform, remained silent on the net neutrality threats, and disappeared on wireless affordability. Innovation just not a priority. 3/5 https://twitter.com/mgeist/status/1383048582257840128
Where is Trade Minister @mary_ng on likely tariff retaliation from digital tax and regulation plans?
Where is Justice Minister @DavidLametti on constitutionality of blocking content?
Where is Digital Gov Minister @JoyceMurray on anti-digital policy?

And what of @JustinTrudeau? He’s gone from sub-tweeting the US on net neutrality to supporting censorship legislation that includes mandated content blocking. From promoting consultation to backing bills that have had no public consultation. 5/5 https://twitter.com/mgeist/status/1383048582257840128
