   C-11 may be the end of free speech in Canada as we know it. Or the beginning of the end. I don't think Canadians understand how fucking boring life will be without being able to communicate with who you want, how you want, and access information and media you should have a right to see.

     @Flick @Piss_Ant I hate sloppily worded legislation, and so few people understand when I rail against it. Way too many people seem to be fine with the idea that it’ll be up to the courts to figure out what the law “meant”.

     From the sound of it, sounds like VPNs will become a lot more popular if this thing passes.

     @Piss_Ant What’s the C-11 again? I know I’ve seen mentions of something like that but it was a while ago and now I’m drawing a blank.

     @Gnomeshatecheese @Piss_Ant It’s that bill that lets them mandate a certain amount of Canadian content, ie stop algorithms showing you YouTube stuff you’re actually interested in in favour of things the government thinks you should be watching. Iirc.

     @Flick @Piss_Ant What???

     That’s definitely not the one I heard about.
     That sounds absolutely ridiculous.

     @Gnomeshatecheese @Piss_Ant The intention was to promote Canadian content on streaming services, in the same way that regular TV has to have a certain amount of locally-made content, but it’s been sloppily worded, whether accidentally or deliberately.
