‘By allowing these tribunals to offer cost awards, they’re effectively going to be incentivizing complaints,’ says Aaron Wudrick, of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute
Ottawa bureau chief Stuart Thomson talks to Aaron Wudrick, the director of the domestic policy program at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, about the government’s new online harms bill.
The bill will attempt to force social-media, user-uploaded adult content and live-streaming services to reduce exposure to online content deemed harmful. That means strengthening the reporting of child pornography and better addressing hate propaganda and providing recourse to victims of hate online.
Hard to believe that something could be worse than Section 13 but here it is.
This is about control not “harm.”
I am certain the worst will come to pass.
