But unlike Australia’s law, tech firms could sidestep Canada’s ban if they demonstrate they have policies to minimise harm to minors.
The law includes sweeping measures to regulate AI chatbots and curtail “harmful content” online. It would create a regulator to ensure tech firms comply. Some free speech groups have warned it would expand censorship.
This is worse since this will function as regulatory capture for large social media companies preventing smaller competitors from appearing while supercharging government censorship.
WTF Canada, you are picking a bit too many bad habits from your neighbor.
hm? we’ve always been like this. Every few years our politicians look south and think “hmmm yeah that’s a good idea lets copy it!” been that way for decades. this shouldn’t surprise anyone.
