Global News sent questions to the office of the Department of Canadian Heritage, asking where the initiative around social media regulations currently stands, but did not hear back by time of publication. “Ultimately Canadians just want social media companies to be taxed much in the same way that every other company operates in Canada is taxed.”What stood out to Simpson was the divergence among age groups when it came to the role of freedom of speech.
'the Vast Majority' any time I see the media say this I know it's a made up stat
So...the charter of human rights no longer has any value? Is that the message here? Then I guess that means we are no longer protected from discrimination, etc...
Please censor us and show us the way governments!!!
You sir ,should be ashamed!!
Vast majority of Canadians want safer social media platforms, but also aren’t comfortable with government censorship of free speech. Definitely not comfortable with lying PMJT/Libs being the speech policie. cdnpoli FreeSpeech censorship
Disgusting liars.
Excellent I agree. Now start with our politicians. The greatest proveyers of division & racism in our country. Aided by the media. So...delete yourselves. Thanks.
GlobalNational Yes, BLM meaning Anty-white racism, right?
Every other realm of human interaction comes with rules and standards for how we treat each other. The world wasn't ready for fully anonymous discourse. I don't think it will ever be. Too much room for ideological manipulation. Look at the states and their anti mask beliefs
BS
Fake News!
What a massive fraud, I wonder if they're convinced people buy into it.
CKNW Fair, the problem is who defines what hate/racism is. Many on the left think a different opinion than thier own is hateful. 😕
GlobalNational individuals can easily stop following any one they feel is putting out hateful information.
Get it done liberal_party We do not want to be another MAGAland
680CJOB And how long will it be before goverment control media start telling if you say anything against the government you be jailed ?
And who exactly deems themselves worthy of deciding what is and is not racism or hate speech?
Who gets to decide what hate is? I get called a hateful genocidal bigot for not believing 'I'm a woman' is a magical phrase that makes a penis female.
Absolutely ! It is inciting hate and should be dealt with that way. These people should not only be refused a platform, they should be charged. And that goes for Politicians too!
Guess start moving to parler and other platforms.
How about we run our country based on our constitution rather than how everybody 'feels' at the moment....
680CJOB Bullshit
Who decides what’s considered “offensive” and “hate” speech?
“Starting to” 😂😂😂
CKNW Define Racism. If I vote Conservative and support Trump and it doesn't make me a racist.
AM980News 👎
they should focus on preventing pedos using their social media to access our children
Keep pushing that division. The more you censor the more people will rise up against your attempts. Canadians are done with this crap.
Who are these people that were 'polled'?
GlobalEdmonton 82% of your 100 viewers probably
CKWS_TV Like every post from MaximeBernier ?
So long as government gets to define what is hate!
yes it should 100%
Which 'social media'? The biased LameStreamMedia that keeps pushing BlackfaceTrudeau n liberals bs and their SystemicRacism LIE Canadians ARE NOT RACIST, Presstitutes! It's an insult that only TrudeauCorruption uses 2 divide this great nation! AllLivesMater CDNpoli
Who is dull enough to believe anything from Global, CBC or CTV?
This is a Liberal Party initiative. Trudeau wants to control what Canadians can see on social media. I bet all the anti-Trudeau posts would be censored under this plan. cdnpoli
Slippery slope provided by fake news & fake polls. The radical left has attempted to remove content and opinions it's doesn't like and label them hateful or racist. Social media platforms need to be free and open so people can debate and discuss ideas, not be told what to think.
FakeNews
Hate is learned behaviour, nobody is born hateful. To eliminate hate we must expunge those who spread it, reactionaries and racists are running dogs who whisper words of poison & spread hate virulently through our society. To stamp out hate we must identify & remove the infected.
Who gets to define 'hate' & 'racism'?
Until they realize that everything that 'mom and dad' don't like become classified as hate..
I find BLM to be divisive, hateful, and racist. Yet their garbage is peppered all over social media. What's the deal with that?
You mean social media companies planted polls that say they should do more of what they already want to do ?
Start with BLM Toronto.
Fake news.
How come when a white man is stabbed or a paki rape gang is convicted, you're not allowed to share footage or cover the trial? But the news shares footage of criminal thug George Floyd dying to push a hate narrative against police and white people
Anti-white hatred is routinely allowed, but asking questions like 'WHY is 'diversity our strength'?' Is forbidden. Global and CTV news are the worst purveyors of hate and division
This is insane. Ain't nobody got time for that my god people are insane. Get jobs already and mind your business.
What racism? MSM White Privileged management?
Sorry I don't want to live under Fascism.
What scares me is that eventually some people will be in the position to control the meaning of the word 'hate' and what the consequences should be for those who use it.
Oh yeah because you want the police involved because someone loss a argument on Twitter or Facebook come on. I've been saying this for so now hate speech isn't a thing.
Police have the resources to follow social media platforms on their own they don’t need the company to act as dictator. Censorship should be illegal, everyone has a right to an opinion. If they cross the line to something illegal like a threat then it’s a police matter.
One simple question.... who gets to decide? I've been accused of racism and bigotry simply because I disagree with someone. Slipperly slope here....
No thank you.
In other words 88% of people want their social media read by the social media company.
Global, I legitimately dislike you more every single day.
Is there racism on line?
Can we please return to Freedom and Democracy? 'Hate Speech' can be defined as anything anyone finds offensive and it never ends. This is how Freedom of speech dies.
Global news should start with itself. Spreading total bs 24 hours a day.
Breeding judenrats.
Do the people operating globalism news want to SaveTheChildren
Let’s start with CBCNews and CTVNews who continuously instigates race wars, while manipulating and deviating readers by framing stories on this twitter platform. This is an ilegal practice and I guess Twitter is playing dumb, benefiting from clickbaits as well.
The real title of your article 'Leftists felt that social media companies should ban all right wingers for wrong think.'
Utterly mindboggling. Canadians deserve the stupid hell they will put themselves through. Believe this: the Leftists at Globalnews don't think this will apply to them, wreck them and all that but.. ..eventually it will. Oh well, keep calm and remember..
Such program currently running in England has been a failure. Tons of funding to promote police calling and threatening political expression. Oddly punishing free speech online had no impact on knife crime, scooter robberies/assaults and mass rape gangs.
I thought police were to be refunded🤔!
Start with BLM.
Yeah. Pretty much think this is straight up BS. Carry on.
The thought Police are Watching... They have been since 1984....
sounds true superposition when media themselves let's take the gayomart mythology as written by agent 488 or ganymedes as referenced by funk & Wagnall folklore mythology & legend. All Washington clean s-lave trade mind control x marks the spot camp x Blacklifematters Abraham news
Wait, I thought the police were the problem?
1984...
Show the polls and the data and where and when you collected it. Was there a free period at Kindergarten?
It only goes one way of course. If you encourage an 'end to whiteness' or call white people 'genetic defects' then you'll get a medal.
Bullshit
If someone stands on a chair shouting things we don't like ... ... should we blame chair companies? The *control* of freespeech disguised as *protection* through censorship to save our fragile mentalhealth?
Can i still FART in an elevator
What about hatred of racists? Hatred of Fascists? Hatred of 'Bad guys' Hatred of political parties?
