Experts urge federal government to pursue moderate, ‘judicious’ approach to harmful content online
Digital policy experts say the Liberal government should be restrained when it comes to formulating its promised legislation governing online harms.
In an interview on CBC Radio’s The House that aired Saturday, Emily Laidlaw, an associate professor at the University of Calgary, said the federal government faced a major challenge in crafting a bill that was technically viable and did not overstep itself.
“It’s really hard legislation to write,” Laidlaw, who holds the Canada research chair in cybersecurity law, told host Catherine Cullen.
