Some suggest Canada should mirror EU regulations that allows for stronger action to tackle disinformation in times of crisis, such as during elections, international conflicts and public-health emergencies

Disinformation, including “deepfake” videos and bots spreading deception, should come within the scope of a future online harms bill, say a panel of experts appointed by Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez to help him shape a future law.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said in an interview that technology was now so sophisticated that some fake images and content were “virtually indistinguishable” from genuine content, making it very difficult for people to tell the difference. The study by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy this month found that huge numbers of tweets and retweets about the war in Ukraine can be traced back to Russia and China, with even more tweets expressing pro-Russian sentiment traced to the United States.

“Deepfakes” are fake videos or photos that use deep learning technology, which creates highly realistic-looking counterfeit images. Their warning was echoed by Emmett Macfarlane, a constitutional expert at the University of Waterloo.

The liberal government needs to explain and apologize for funding virulent antisemite Jonathan Kay

What is truth / always to sides to a story / one may call disinformation is actual the truth governments do not have the rights to decide / this is a democratic system not a regime

That’s because you have no concept of rights, freedom or righteousness…

marcomendicino is literally the face for disinformation. Everything he says is a lie. It's time we drain the swamp and get rid of all these liberal commies.... Sad!

If memory serves me correctly the CRTC can take away a broadcast license for ongoing lying on-air and the public gets to comment at license renewal and can complain to the CRTC anytime. Exercise your rights.

Is the government also liable under this law Everything they say is disinformation with zero fact to back it up so 🤷‍♂️

Rights and freedoms shall be granted or denied according to the whims of an advisory panel beholden to Agenda 2030. I guess I missed that in the Charter.

Who decides what is disinformation?

Then Mendicino should be censored for continuing dis-information on a monumental scale. MendicinoLies

and the advisory panel is as fake and dishonest as all of those they criticize... wwooww.

And who will decide what that is.

All the 'misinformation' during the Rona turned out to be true

Does that mean that the Liberals would all be charged for hate crimes based on their past and current misinformation?

He's the biggest fake and provider of disinformation

Ha. It’s funny because Mendicino is guilty of disinformation. So is his boss! To the gallows with the lot!

This is a deepfake.

So I guess Marco will be banned immediately

G&M political propaganda and vaccine disinformation should fall under hate law.

Govt should have as little involvement wrt speech as humanly possible. The term hate speech doesn’t even make sense. Creating vague moveable lines to differentiate between being mean and being hateful? Just a way to prey on emotions to get support to control more aspects of life.

Anything that goes against liberals you mean. Just like nazi Germany.

it depends in who gets to say whether its disinformation. No one trusts government with this.

Let me guess, Mendocino’s next claim will be that all the videos of him confirming that his government relied on law enforcement to enact the EMA were deep fakes?

Look in the mirror

That would mean that Marco, who consistently lies, should be charged. Yet, MSM knowingly keeps pushing these lies. He’s on video telling these lies repeatedly. THEREFORE, MSM needs to be charged too.

Advisory panels should have as their core guiding principle the Charter.

Glad you showed his picture he is the definition of Deepfake and disinformation

The party that continues to lie to Canadians wants to control what you and I can hear and say. This is dangerous

Now this is just crazy. billc11 cdnpoli

What happens when the government can't be trusted?

Disinformation? As defined by who? The Government? Appointed Bureaucrats? NO F**KIN’ WAY!

And who sensors this government when they spew this disinformation, misinformation?

The Globe and Mail is now spreading hate. Interesting

would that include the fake news media ? or will you be exempt from lying to Canadians ?

A lie is not the truth.

So does the guy who lied about the police asking to enact the emergencies act get to decide what is “misinformation”?

So the ministers who have been lying in HoC can go first, right? Starting with the PM for calling unvaccinated all those names. None of that smut is true for most of us.

looks like the Globe and Mail, CBC and CTV will be out of business soon.

This government is the biggest purveyor of disinformation out there! ResignMendicino

Mendicino himself is a deep fake

so? the lies of bureaucrats and politicians gotta stop because... this government has not credibility to govern

Trudeau’s government is the God Father of DISINFORMATION they can’t be TRUSTED to decide WHAT is true as they LIE all the time (SNC, WE scandal, War Measures Act or EMA, etc)….

If misinformation wasn’t allowed, your paper wouldn’t exist

And who determines “hate speech”? Who’s bias will be censored?

Thank god. The liberal cabinet will be in big trouble.

The liberals spread nothing but disinformation constantly. 😂 I guess they should be charged then? You should think before you publish these headlines.

jeannetix_

So govt can now finally be held accountable....

He should be in jail for disinformation, not making laws about it!🤡

Disinformation like ‘safe & effective’?

Then Trudeau’s ministers will all be charged with a hate crime. 😅

Let's start with mainstream media first. The original perpetrators -including yours.

When did pushing policies become the job of journalists?

Great. Lock up TrudeauTheTyrant Mendicino, CBC, & Bernie Farber right now.

So the Liberals and CBC CTV Global go first?

Here we go 🙄

this would make us a socialist state for real if it happened

1984 is here

🙄🙄

This nonsense is negating the meaning of 'hate'. Criminal, hateful language is one thing. What the media and our governments now claim as 'hate' and 'disinformation' just makes sane people feel we're living in Soviet times.

Says the corrupt bought and paid for globe and mail a source of Liberal Media Party lies and disinformation. As an adult I don't need the government censoring information for me, I and every other adult in Canada are capable of doing that ourselves. HONKHONK WeRememberOttawa

Then I’d like to report that the Liberal government and alot of media outlets have been attacking Canadians with hate speech since the Convoy rolled in. 🤨

An awful lot of dishonest people starting to panic here

The liberal Trudeau government is the biggest purveyor of disinformation and deceit in Canada.

They can start with half of parliament and Trudeau because they preach hate all the time.

And you use a picture of Lying Little Marco for the post….🤡🌎

For gods sake, they were assisting police forces in ending the illegal blockades/occupation of Ottawa - quit trying to make it more than it was just to satisfy your extremist readers!!!

Start with Parliament. The lies and disinformation is off the charts.

The audacity of this government thinking it has the right to police 'disinformation' is gobsmacking.

Arrest the entire liberal_party then. Didn’t Freeland tweet an altered video? TrudeauMustGo

HATE SPEECH:

Justin's Liberals and the Media are the main sources of misinformation. The law is Justin's attempt to stop the people from criticizing his complete failure!!!

Bill C11 + C18 = Canada's ministry of Truth, CRTC

The Ministry of Truth speaks

Predictable expansion of the word 'hate'.

This guy 🤡

How about all the lies and hate from media towards the Truckers Convoy!! I say we start there, but of course it will be targeted to law abiding Canadians and who gets to define hate speech. Here we go, if I wasn't ill I would leave this socialist/communist country in a heart beat

Government is the last entity on Earth I'd trust to decide what is and isn't fake.

So, is he referring to his buddy Trudy? I'd say he's right on point.

Liberals want only praises to their failure authoritarian government

So all the liberals/NDP should be imprisoned

So bye bye Mendocino

As if i'd pay 99 cents to read this horseshit.

This man should be locked up already.

AGREE 💯 to to include; TorontoStar CTVNews globalnews CBCNews and every subsidiary.

Looks like the Liberals are so out of touch they don't grasp the fact that if passed they would be the first casualties of their disinformation bill. While I disagree with the bill, that would be worth seeing. LOL

I guess the gov will be destroying itself then Biggest source of disinformation on the planet

Since I've seen at least 3 JT's I'm not sure if this is a good idea😆 not to mention CGI Doug Ford.

Then this liberal government would be guilty of hate law...

If that would happen, who would run the country? They majority of the cabinet would be in court.

Let's not have a liar be the minister if truth shall we?

It's a new game. Pass laws with ambiguous terms that you feel confident you will have the power to define any way that suits you. Problem is, someday you won't.

What is ‘disinformation?’ Who judges what it is? Sounds like it would be politicized and ignore scientific dissent, as we have seen in the pandemic, and weaponized against the population. Advisors seem to be on the take, part of the system, part of the problem.

eventually this will come back to haunt the china compromised media.

who watches the watchers? i know chy...na likes pierre and justin. very similar governing styles tied to the ccp.

Everything that comes out of the governments mouth is a lie and misinformation!!

What has he not been forced to resign or be fired yet? Why is he still around?

That describes our gov

Their idea of misinformation is disagreeing with government narrative, and spreading verifiable facts. Everything is intentionally upside down and designed to control.

krisster8 I expect Justin's words to be banned as well, when he's talking about the hate he has for those who disagree with him.

What about disinformation coming from leftist media? Or are paid-off establishment-corporate media exempt from hate crimes and censorship laws?

Ah, you believe in deep fakes. Now how about you prove that Biden isn't ever a deep fake? C'mon. Try.

Advisory Panels are Disinformation Deepfakes.

So should Prime Minister Zoolander be charged? He did call the protesters racist misogynists with unacceptable views. That's slanderous and not true.

I'm sorry? So does this mean the Canadian Government is going to be charged a few million times? Trudeau in particular.

And I guess THEY are the ones who decides what is “disinformation “, that’s pretty rich. I’m sure no bias. 🙄 They insult our intelligence

Who gets to decide what is truth and what is disinformation? Where is the line between dissent and disinformation?

Hmmm....doesn't this mean that Trudeau should be in prison? After all, he is one of the leading sources of misinformation, and he even bullied disabled people online.

George Orwell is laughing at us from the grave. Or has that book been banned from schools too

Speaking of deepfakes...

then trudeau would be the first to face prison time. After all, he bullied disabled people and called them racist and misogynistic for being concerned about their health, especially when it turns out,those concerns were warranted?

Justy should clean house first. Then maybe he has a smidgeon of self-entitled lecturing allowed to the masses.

So will Marco be arrested first then?

Start with govt/media. Assange is being tortured to death for telling the truth, not for 'misinformation'... and who tf decides?

Imagine a conservative government in charge of the media infrastructure. Would you be happy with Pierre Poilievre determining what can report?

Who will be the decider of truths? The prospect is terrifying. The concept of fact-checking has already provided a glimpse into the future and we don’t like it.

disinformation = whatever the government doesn’t like.

It'll never fly because people can't even agree on what disinformation is. People will never know the truth because the government will never be transparent. Doesn't matter what side of the aisle you're on, this won't work and in fact will likely make things worse for them.

So the Goverment would be charged everyday then.

This will be the end of Canada

And Stalin gets to decide what 'disinformation' is (wrongthink) and what a 'deefake' is (Stalin's own remakes of history).

Oh look, we're already openly censoring the internet

Canada has become a shithole of a country

Ya like he is the poster boy for truth and dud information 👀⚖️🇨🇦

Only group think and what big brother deemed true can be uttered

'....but not when we do it.' - The Liberal Cabinet

What does mainstream media lies and propaganda fall under?

This would only apply to citizens though? Given the amount of misinformation published by media from the government shouldn’t all of you be charged? Never forget the disgusting use of propaganda to divide the people

Governments should not be in charge of a lemonade stand, let alone what constitutes disinformation.

Does this mean we will begin arresting all of the government officials and 'experts' and the politicians?...

Well you can start with the Chief Czar Medicino supposed advisory panel followed by the sycophant shills and purveyors of division and hate at the mainstream media. Guess your earning that 600 million eh G and M.

Does this include the media using fake photos ?

The disinformation The Globe spread daily over the last few years on Covid will allow them to be charged, I hope.

It’s ridiculous that there are “online hate laws.” Basically they are laws to punish people for saying what someone else doesn’t like. The same with “disinformation.” They don’t call it lies because lying has legal implications. Disinformation is what you don’t agree with.

Good.

So you want persecution if you disagree?

Deepfakes are troubling and worry me more and more personally - as it only will get better as time goes on. Not sure if governments are in a competence mode being able to navigate here without looking like biggest fools.

krisster8

Fuck this panel in the ass

You mean like liberals including me with gang bangers and drug dealers because I own something legally that they use and obtain illegally? Who decides truth right now.

krisster8 'Experts say'.

The Globel and Mail are the experts on misinformation, disinformation, fake news, etc. They, along with the other hateful media, are responsible for all that's happening in Canada. They do not have a conscience.

DefundCBC TrudeauTheTyrant VaccineSideEffects TrudeauDictatorship vaccineinjuries Freeland TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada

krisster8 Then half the liberal government hacks would be locked up.

Disinformation like Covid came from the wet market and vaccines prevent you from contracting a disease?

If this becomes law, Canada is no longer a free country.

Advisory panel should pound salt and this law should be shredded

Anyone read the book “1984”? If you haven’t, and agree with these policies, then you should... because in reality, we are heading in that direction.

Censorship bad

Every Democrat alive would be arrested and jailed.

Who's to say what disinformation is, it's a slippery slope . All information should be provided to the public and the public should decide what is real and what isn't. 'trust your government' hasn't worked out well historically , ever . Thoughout the word. Ever.

If disinformation is defined as a hate crime, all legacy media must shut their doors immediately. Also, Trudeau and gang must resign and stand trial.

krisster8 So in essence that encompasses every narrative the liberal governments are putting out there and pushed by the MSM that we the people are expected to believe.

Is this the same advisory panel that advised them on their unscientific COVID measures.

Disinformation like in 2020 the vaccine not stopping spread or infection? That type of 'disinformation'?

So deepfakes and disinformation should be allowed? What kind of warped sense is that?

So the Globe and Mail fits the bill

The entire Liberal cabinet would be up on charges….they all lie, omit facts, or simply do not answer the questions…..and who exactly would be the arbiter of what is disinformation?

This country is insane. 'True north, strong, and free' 🤦‍♂️🤡 Everything liberal literally turns to garbage and people love it.

wow, this is crazy

Trudeau is a Sex Offender and has a 6 figure nondisclosure agreement Looking forward to full disclosure.

Does this mean that marcomendicino will be censored going forward?

Such bullshit. Government of Canada is the 1 source of disinformation in the land.

Scary power grab.

Look my naked photo ❤️😘

Look who’s talking. This guy, his boss and Freeland are the number one “deepfakes” and leaders of misinformation and disinformation. JustinTrudeau marcomendicino cafreeland

Like “hands up” “general giant” which caused riots

By that standard the would fall under the law....

And that is how they introduce censorship and limitations to free speech, with them being the gate keepers and the ones to decide what is “fake”

someone should tell Mendicino that Italian heritage doesn't need to include fascism and whatever comrade Benito did to his people.

Deepfakes not equal to disinformation not equal to hate. It could be in an individual instance but not the whole set. Who decides it is? That is key to understanding the potential misuse of this law.

I ❤ capitalist oligarchs. Marx warned about this but here we are ...

What's needed is a strong definition of individuals rights in cyberspace. The same laws that protect a physical person have to be extended to the cyberspace.

Excuse me for not trusting any Canadian government to be an accurate arbiter of truth.

Cons are upset.

They wouldn’t do that b/c would be the end of CBC and the whole LPC cabinet…if they enforced it properly.

We are teetering on authoritarianism in Canada and our elites are cheering it on.

Most secretive, least transparent government in Canadian history wants control over internet information. Sounds like a plan.

Confirmation that these 'Hate Law's' are nothing to do with hate, and all about shutting up those with a different opinion to the government. HateSpeech

Utterly predicable broadening of the scope of an already terrible bill.

Liberals being the super spreaders of misinfornation may pose a problem fir this party.

Does it include government 'misinformation'

If the government doesn't want you to see or read the truth, it will be censored.

The corporate press is the enemy of the people. Even tobacco companies are more honest about their products

All politicians and journalists will end up in jail!

🤡🤮🤡

Advisory panels should fall under disinformation says any person paying attention

Sure.. because it's only the gov that tells us the truth

So CBC, Global, CTV et al, will now be subject to charges under online hate laws?

For those who still haven’t figured it out: “disinformation” and “misinformation” is anything that can discourage you from getting another jab. Literally nothing else receives those labels.

Good then the Trudeau liberals would be the first to suffer the consequences.

No, not at all. That is a terrible definition of hate. But it is fake globalist news pushing this on the good Canadian people again

where do lies and misinformation from national media go? you need patrolling more than on-line does. People watch CBC CTVNews and you you all have spread more lies than anything on line. Difference is people look for you as a source of truth CdnMediaFailed

Another move by the most scandal-ridden government in Canadian history to avoid accountability. 'Dare criticize us and we'll brand you a hater and subject you to enforcement' It won't work. Even if Trudeau silences Cdns, he has no power over foreign reporters or MPs.

Don’t trust the liberal government at all they’re the enemy

Riiiiight.

fuck that

Lol I love how this panel includes hate peddlers from antihate Network. And cites a bullshit 'study' from the university of Calgary that was just a political hitpiece. If real disinformation were included, this article would be banned.

So the Federal Liberal government’s communications will be properly classified as hate speech now?

Then shine the light on them and dispel them. I don’t want the liberal_party and this cabinet anywhere near this issue.

Who decides what 'disinformation' is? The government?! Seems like an amazing idea 🤦 The globe and mail is a government funded propaganda outlet disguised as news. And this article proves exactly why.

Uh oh they’re worried about Trudeau’s past being discussed. By the way, does this extend to cafreeland’s fake edited videos on Twitter to spread misinformation about her political opponents?

No! Pretty soon political dissent will be hate speech. We were just fine before Covid. No change to the laws necessary. Just a change to the government trying to oppress us is required.

Would that include the disinformation from Canadian legacy media outlets like the Globe and Mail?

Make the penalties strict. When conservatives regain power we promise not to use them against you 😎

But who gets to decide what is “disinformation” ? And why would you call different opinions “ hate” ? According the todays standards everything one group decides they don’t agree with is being labelled hate, racism, etc. even if doesn’t resemble anything of the kind.

What would you 🤡's call this pic, deepfake or disinformation?

So you are saying that Mendicino's disinformation about the emergency act should be classified as hate? And pretty much the entire Liberal cabinet with the disinformation they spread daily? And the CBC too? And the Toronto Star? and you guys?

😂

What about lying by omission? EnemyOfThePeople

And who decides what is 'misinformation' ? The regime? Canada is done.

So the govt is online hate?

Trudeau Canada wants to limit and or coerce your speech.

Outright censorship of opposition disguised as paternalistic over reach. THIS is misinformation. The Lib gov't is a deep fake.

Who's on the panel? BlackFaceHitler ?

so does this apply to cafreeland and her fradulent tweets

Getting totalitarian and fast. Chi-nada has a nice ring to it

Fascist asf

If a politicians spreads obvious lies (like 'specimens of the species Homo sapiens can change their sex, so men can become women'), that should fall under online hate law.

And the government wielding absolute power decides what 'disinformation' is, aka everything the government under Führer Trudeau doesn't want you to say. This is the direct path to a totalitarian dictatorship.

The liberal_party logo: 🇨🇳

The cover to censor the truth. who decides what is disinformation? this corrupt govt

Who decides what is fake and what is true?

Here we go, anything I disagree with is disinformation, and disinformation is hate. Canada always leading the way in societal destruction. This is thanks to the pliable sheep they call citizens…

No. No it shouldn't. The last entity one would want to censor is the state. Folks, we've been here before. This is a bad, bad idea.

'The Globe and Mail' should fall under online hate law, says advisory panel. 'First, they came for the ...'

As if hate has no place in society. 🙄

The government is the true disinformation and misinformation. All about control.

NKVD tactics

Lying Marco is still allowed to put laws in this country?

Destroying freedom to own the cons

Ya because I need to outsource my thinking to the government about what hate is. Does that mean marcomendicino is a white supremacist spreading online hate with all his lies and disinformation?

Wtf is wrong with you people?

And I advise that it shouldn't.🤷‍♂️🙄

If this passes Canada is done.

So when the govt lies to everyone, like when they told us the Police were asking for the Emergency Act and we found out that was a lie, and it’s posted online, do they get charged now? 😀

What about all the PM Blackface pics and F*** Trudeau memes?

EmmMacfarlane threatened to burn The White House down. He's on the board? Joke!!

Ministry of Truth

That would be one way to constrain the Conservative party.

Who will determine what is misinformation? Who will be the authority?

The photo of your story is the man with the biggest misinformation this year. Start with him

Oh FFS. This is not China.

I think politicians, doctors and media that spread actual hate should fall under ‘hate law’.

BernieFarber is a dangerous hatemonger.

Yeah and then this joker would be banned.

Chinada folks! Next up? Social credit system! Say something dissenting about the government? Question what they do as a good member of a democracy should? Beans and lintels only for you that week. When the government says so you can purchase beef again!

And your poster boy for disinformation is him in the picture

So under that bill the liberals have committed online hate.

🤡

Yes, disinformation perpetuated by the government is hateful. Too bad we don't have Rule of Law in Canada. I mean, Mendicino still has his job

So who's going to charge the gov't with a hate crime then?

I seen a great deepfake of Pres Biden falling off of a bike yesterday. Somebody put a lot of time and effort into that hateful video.

Predictable expansion of the definition of “hate” to include any information the government doesn’t want you to see

It does look good for Trudeau and Legault in this case

Someone needs to let cafreeland know about this

This liberal government is the embodiment of disinformation, so if they set the standards, you can bet the truth will become disinformation

Communism 100 ban guns Communism 101 Control speech Communism 110 control money Communism 200 control healthcare Communism 210 control people

An advisory panel with Bernie Farber in it? They chose the most radical anti-democratic people to serve on that panel. He runs a government-funded hate group that politically targets conservatives.

It’s clear that Marco’s only intentions are to hurt those that disagree with him. Who hurt you Marco? Tell me the bullies name!

Fear the government that fears your right to freedom of speech
