Trudeau criticizes Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for calling Liberal government’s upcoming online harms legislation ‘attack on freedom of expression’

Justin Trudeau took an unprompted jab at his main political rival on Thursday over a Senate porn bill that the prime minister said could usher in a digital ID for adults who want to browse certain websites.

The bill introduced by Sen. Julie Miville-Dechene, a member of the Independent Senators Group, does not specify how age would be verified. The U.K. has said methods it’s looking into include verifying ages through photo ID matching, facial age estimation and credit card checks. Nonetheless, privacy experts have expressed concerns over the potential impacts of the use of facial recognition technology or requiring users to hand over personal information to third-party sites.

He was referring to 15 Liberal backbenchers who voted alongside Tories to send the bill to committee.
