Blame Canada? Justin Trudeau Creates Blueprint for Dystopia in Horrific Speech Bill (www.racket.news)

I got in some hot water a while back for admitting I was relatively unconcerned with Republican villainy these days compared to other worries. This Canada Online Harms Act, whose details I missed earlier (apologies to Public and Yuri Bezmenov!), perfectly embodies the kind of thing that keeps me up at night now....

Too bad most commenting haven’t read the interview (what else is new, eh?). I like this, Jack Dorsey responding to a question on how the US government had its hooks into Twitter’s leadership before the buyout:

I think it was problematic, and I also don’t think the people who got called out in the Twitter Files get enough credit for pushing back on government requests. The U.S. is certainly one of them. Twitter has a track record of fighting the U.S. on free speech causes, especially around transparency reports. Opening the lens even broader to other governments, we had even more fights. Tons of fights with India, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria. These are all governments that threatened arrest of our employees, raided our employees’ homes, offices, asking for phone numbers and personal information for accounts that were critical of the governments. I think that was one part that’s overlooked and not appreciated.

At least Dorsey is thinking about social platforms, problems. Did you even read the post or simply spouting what your tribe says in your echo chamber?

Afraid to learn something you didn’t before? Such a silly attitude!

it’s sometimes hard to remember there are people who take that view.

Many people have this view. Us on the Fedi are unique in that we don’t, or didn’t before the mass Twitter émigré occurred.

this guy is 100% committed to give nazis a platform, right?

I think you mean — speech you don’t like. Where do you draw the line?

Well, literal Nazis would be a good start.

The problem is that most of the blocking is simply because people don’t like the speech. This is a huge concern for any liberal democracy. Free speech is a right, and that means speech that one doesn’t necessarily like!

Not correct. It’s a human right regardless whether you believe it or not. un.org/…/freedom-expression-fundamental-human-rig….

Just because America doesn’t allow free speech on their social applications doesn’t make it right. Pull your head out of your arse. Yelling fire when there isn’t a fire isn’t an example of free speech you moron! We’re talking about political free speech.

Can someone summarize for me? Lol

I tried with ‘LEO’ a free AI tool. Didn’t return useful content for me. It’s not that long. Anyway, I just posted a heartfelt video from Sheldon Keefe himself, addressing Leaf Nation. Pretty classy.

You know he’s taking his next team to the Finals, right?! Lol

I’m sure his future is bright! In my opinion, the failure of the team falls more on Dubas’s shoulders. As GM, he was responsible for the team makeup. But what to do with Johnny Toronto, and Mr. Marner? 😁
