Bill C-11 (First Reading February 2, 2022):

An Act to promote the efficiency and adaptability of the Canadian economy by regulating certain activities that discourage reliance on electronic means of carrying out commercial activities, and to amend the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission Act, the Competition Act, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and the Telecommunications Act

Bill C-11 would create unprecedented levels of censorship in Canada.

REMINDER: Bill C-10 has been reintroduced as Bill C-11 by the Trudeau government

It puts the CRTC in charge of deciding what you can see & hear on the internet

Do you trust the feds to decide what podcasts & shows you choose?

Musk responded to a tweet from Canada Proud, a group created to stand up for all working Canadians.

"Hey @ElonMusk, now that you own Twitter, will you help fight back against Trudeau's online censorship bill C-11?" Canada Proud asked.

The Counter Signal provided further info:

The Liberals tabled Bill C-11 in February to make streaming platforms promote and invest in Canadian content like traditional broadcasters do. The bill would give the CRTC power to regulate online platforms.

The government insists Bill C-11 is designed to bolster the creation of Canadian content. Yet experts warn the proposed bill’s ambiguous language could result in regulating user-generated content. And CRTC chair Ian Scott said in May that the bill would indeed cover user-generated content.

Under C-11, search engines like Google will also be required to boost news organizations that promote “racialized communities, cultural and linguistic minorities, LGBTQ2+ communities, and persons with disabilities.”

Consequently, non-compliant news publishers would receive lower rankings in searches.

Google criticized the Trudeau Liberals for the proposed bill earlier this month.

Neal Mohan, Chief Product Officer of YouTube, owned by Google, wrote a blog titled “Canada: Keep YouTube yours.”

“What’s deeply concerning is that the current version of the Bill has the potential to disadvantage the Canadian creators who build their businesses on our platform, and change the personalized experience of millions of Canadians who visit YouTube every day,” said Mohan.

Twitter representatives compared the Liberals to communists over their desire to implement mass censorship via Bill C-11.

Bill C-11 passed the House of Commons in June and is currently going through the Senate, according to The Counter Signal.

Many people are hopeful Elon Musk will end Twitter censorship.

It remains to be seen what will happen to Bill C-11 now that Musk owns the social media company.

Feels amazing to wake up and know that Canada's Bill C-11 might have a little more opposition than yesterday. I will do my part at Rumble, but if @elonmusk joins this effort, this is going to be 🔥.

If Bill C-11 is passed, @elonmusk should delete Trudeau's Twitter account.
