Members of the expert panel, including Bernie Farber of the Canada Anti-Hate Network and Lianna McDonald of the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, have advised that the act impose a duty on tech giants to tackle the spread of fake news and videos.
He said a “whole-government approach” spanning several departments was needed to tackle the spread of disinformation in Canada. Ministers have announced their intention to bring in an online harms bill which would tackle online abuse - including racist slurs, antisemitism and offensive statements aimed at members of the LGBTQ community.
Some experts on the panel said the bill should also address false advertising, misleading political communications and content that contributes to “unrealistic body image.” “There are always valid concerns about the potential for overreach and unintended consequences flowing from these sorts of laws. Our existing criminal hate speech and obscenity laws have resulted in material being unjustly restricted or blocked at the border, for example,” he said.
WHO DETERMINES THE TERMS OF DISINFORMATION?!
I mean this would include some of the very news channels and verified news accounts
BILL C-11 NEEDS TO BE STOPPED !!! ✋️
1984 has arrived
Yes they should. I am sick of seeing baseless Conspiracy Theory BS online like they were true and fake websites that 'prove it' when there os no true to it at all. The new Conspiracy is the Conspiracy Agenda.
Canada news will desapear
Sure but what about the shallow fakes that are trying to get started?
Not only will these dolts decide what 'hate' is, they're bound to call certain things deepfakes when they aren't. Our government seems to think it's infallible when it clearly isn't.
99% of it comes from JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party
I’m going to miss JustinTrudeau ‘s tweets.
You have a brain and are an individual …yes them both
So when Trudeau or Mendicino lie is it deemed disinformation? They lie a lot, the CRTC would be real busy.
So they are going to ban MSM and the Trudeau government fromspreading lies ?
Woke bull.
Why not just call it Thoughtcrime and be done with it?
Sounds like hitler
Why is the only thing left, freedom, always under attack.
Yup
Deep fakes always fool the hell out of old boomers who live their life based on religion and politics lmfao.
If they pass this you'll have to stop carrying every AP article without reviewing it.
The Liberals would never allow that, because that is what JT and his team is ALL ABOUT.
Everything in the news today is fake.
I used to “deepfake” people in football.
CGI is also fakery, can we ban it from movies and television as well?
Oh good, they'll finally charge CP24, CTV and CBC for the nonsense and the lies you keep regurgitating every hour 👍 works for me!
who and how will we classify disinformation?
Does this also include Trudeau’s hate for unvaccinated Canadians?
Censorship masquerading as protection. Yet another example of our increasingly communist government fabricating laws to silence dissent
You’re the deep fake misinformation l, you can’t even keep your lies straight.
Now its a hate law?
And while we're at it, why not just not allow attack ads when elections come around. If a party wants my vote, they should do it on their merit and not what their opponent has to offer
And yet the liberals are the leaders in disinformation!!!
Our gov't are not the gatekeepers of truth
Deep fakes also known as truth the government doesn't want known.
Lies & Hate Mongering should be illegal on social media but for sure ALL Politicians should have a fact checker after every speech they give ppl deserve the truth.
Deepfake. The new buzzword created by the msm
If spreading disinformation is a hate crime, everyone from the CBC and CTV would eventually end up in jail!
Who decides what is fake? The government? No thanks. That can only go wrong. Do you want Doug Ford or Justin Trudeau or Donald Trump or Joe Biden telling you what is fake or not and censoring it?
Here are great examples of MSM deep fakes
Define…”deepfake”…
Having the impunity to simply say 'that wasn't me, it was a deepfake' This is what these 'laws' will lead to. Who do you think gets to decide? Who reviews the video and makes the decision? Think about 'fact checkers' Just another tool for the establishment to get away with it.
But if this happens what will the CBC CTV CP24 Toronto Star do they all lie are extremely biased and spread disinformation on regular basis
Remember that time Chrystia Freeland was flagged by Twitter for tweeting a manipulated video. That should fall under disinformation and online hate, right?
If they classify 'lying' as a 'hate crime', Trudeau is in trouble....
90% of the politicians and MSM would be in jail, perfect.
Absolutely Not !! Who decides what is fake? Sound sounds control, dictatorship and censorship all wound into one.
They absolutely need to be able to remove inaccurate information online but need to be vigilant in respecting peoples comments and opinions and not abuse these powers. How would we deal with politicians who lie in real time? Elected officials lie to us every day with impunity.
Deep fake and crypto scams go hand in hand
Who decides what is fake? Sound sounds control, dictatorship and censorship all wound into one
