Canada’s Liberal government has introduced legislation aimed at targeting harmful content online.
If passed, the digital safety commissioner would oversee the censorship of child pornography, pro-terrorism content, hate speech, and other harmful posts the commissioner deems harmful on social media platforms.
The legislation makes no distinction between child pornography and “hate speech.” It also includes fines for noncompliance. Canadians are increasingly concerned social media is being used to spread potentially illegal and abusive content such as hate speech and child sexual exploitative content. We need consistent and transparent rules for how online platforms address hate, incitement of violence and harmful online content, Steven Guilbeault, Heritage Minister, said of the legislation.
