Canada considering making online hate speech a crime

https://gizmodo.com/canada-to-make-o...-by-1847163213
Canada’s ruling Liberal government announced on Wednesday that it plans to make online hate speech a crime punishable by as much as$20,000 (roughly $16,250 US)for the first offense and$50,000 ($40,600 US)for the second. The proposal wouldpunish social media userswho broke the law butexempt social media companies that host such content from fines.
The government, headed by Prime Minsiter Justin Trudeau, released a statement on Wednesday outlining the goals of the proposed legislation, known as Bill C-36, as well as other steps being taken to defend against online racial abuse:

amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to define a new discriminatory practice of communicating hate speech online, and to provide individuals with additional remedies to address hate speech;
add a definition of “hatred” to section 319 of the Criminal Code based on Supreme Court of Canada decisions; and
create a new peace bond in the Criminal Code designed to prevent hate propaganda offences and hate crimes from being committed, and make related amendments to the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The government also notes that it will released a “detailed technical discussion paper” in the coming weeks to inform Canadians about the nitty gritty of this proposed law.

“Online platforms are central to participation in public life and have enormous power over online speech and Canadians’ everyday lives. While they allow us as Canadians to stay in touch with loved ones, learn and debate, they can also be used to discriminate, harm and silence,” Steven Guilbeault, the Minister of Canadian Heritage, said in a statement published online.
It’s not yet clear how images would be treated under this new law as opposed to text. As just one example, would blackface be considered hate speech? If so, Canada’s Prime Minister could be in a bit of trouble.
Spoiler!





You beavercels better watchout your comments before I report you to the government

Release someone who murders, decapitates and eats humans organs out in society after 13 years... try jail and punish people forming words on a computer. Priorities.

The only thing more hilarious would be their subjective take on what hate speech is, because let's face it, it's changed to "Anything not positive" now. Such an open-ended law and definition ready to be exploited.

Leftist Authoritarianism, spreading across The West. This is basically what they already do in the UK, Germany has something similar. The Democratic Party in the U.S would love to push something along the lines of this as well. The goal is to silence white people from speaking out against the invasion of European countries and countries built by Europeans as extensions of Europe. This is just one part of the Lefts effort.

The Wild West of the internet is going away. Americans watch laughably dubbed TV movies and don’t think they’re next. Which party made **** come with a special sticker on music? Media will be censored once the boomers in charge die and people that actually know what’s going on get involved.

Hate Speech in this context being anything the listener disagrees with.
Smooth Seas don't make Strong Sailors. Keep your head up.

You combine that with C-10 and basically the govt holds pretty much total power over any streaming service/user-generated media to promote content that they deem appropriate and for them to make it harder to look for content they deem not appropriate, or just outright censor it. They pretty much already do this but this gives them more domain through companies and online media.

They don't care that they trample all over people's liberties and freedoms for something that sounds good in theory but really achieves nothing. Someone said some mean stuff on the internet, it's feel good chit to appease the masses. They're just passing this under the guise that it helps Canadian content creators because it is more palatable.

inb4 anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine sentiments become domain for hate speech, bc they'll pull some stuff like anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine hurts minorities the most. not a leap of faith considering "we" now consider racism a public health issue.

This is ripe for abuse. Also I hope they mean all hate speech for my white friends out there. Unlikely though. I’m gonna start baiting Canadians into saying mean things to me and then report them for the lols
