This is Who the Canadian Government Wants to Regulate the Internet

The CRTC yesterday released its wholesale Internet rates decision, shocking the industry and consumer groups by reversing its 2019 ruling and virtually guaranteeing increased costs for consumers and less competition for Internet services. Indeed, within hours, TekSavvy, one of the largest independent providers, announced that it was withdrawing from the forthcoming spectrum auction and would no longer offer mobile services. In other words, the competitive and consumer cost reverberations from the decision will impact both broadband and wireless services. When the increased costs coming from Bill C-10 for Internet services are added to the equation, the Internet could get a lot more expensive in Canada.

Ron DeSantis Signs Law Allowing Florida Citizens To Sue For Up To $100,000 Over Big Tech Censorship

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took the fight to Big Tech tyrants today, signing SB 7072 into law. This will allow Floridians to sue Big Tech companies who treat them unfairly, whether through inappropriate censorship or a lack of transparency behind their deplatforming of individuals. It also gives the state Attorney General the power to go after Big Tech companies and prohibits them from deplatforming politicians or political candidates.

Think Regulating User Generated Content in Bill C-10 Is Just an Inadvertent Mistake? Think Again

Over the past week, the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has repeatedly been told that Canadian cultural groups are among the strongest supporters of freedom of expression and would never think of supporting legislation that undermines that foundational democratic principle. Yet the reality is that some of the same cultural groups that now downplay the impact of Bill C-10 on expression, lobbied the government to remove all user generated content safeguards. In other words, rather than support freedom of expression for all Canadians, some envisioned using the Broadcast Act to regulate both users and user generated content.

Colonial paid nearly $5 million ransom & Biden won’t be doing anything

Colonial Pipeline had to pay almost $5 million crypto-ransom after they were hacked. Colonial provides fuel to much of the East. Crypto-criminals can hack our infrastructure and seriously harm us, but Joe Biden doesn’t see the need for interfering in a private company’s problems.

The cost will undoubtedly be passed down to consumers.

Beyond C-10: Inside the government’s plan to suspend Internet users and block website access

While we’ve all been distracted by the government’s bumbling overreach with Bill C-10, they’ve launched yet another attack on our online rights and freedoms: a Bell-backed proposal to give the government sweeping censorship powers to demand ISPs block websites, and have ISPs suspend our Internet, or even ban us permanently. All this any time that litigious rights holding companies like Rogers, Disney or Bell claim we’ve improperly accessed their copyrighted materials.

Peter Menzies: Who’s killing free internet speech? Canada’s culture industry

Canada’s cultural sector, long a champion of rights and social justice, now finds itself — despite Monday’s government pullback — in the awkward position of having inspired the mugging of free speech and expression on the internet.

Who’s the Dictator? Biden Regime Considering New Plan to Deal With ‘Extremists’

The Biden regime would like to surveil “extremist chatter” by Americans online, CNN reports, but it’s limited by what federal agents are allowed to do because of those pesky regulations and rights they’re supposed to care about. So Biden is considering using outside firms to monitor American citizens.

Biden’s Infrastructure Plan Would Redefine ‘Broadband’ To Justify Spending $100 Billion on Government-run Internet

“It’s not going to achieve the goal of bridging the digital divide in America,” Deborah Collier, a vice president at Citizens Against Government Waste, a fiscally conservative nonprofit, tells Reason. “It’s just going to throw more money at cities and localities that already have broadband.”
