Gould says Liberals may have to require social-media companies to ‘act’ on hate speech GlobePolitics

Democratic Institutions Minister Karina Gould waits to appear before the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics in West Block in Ottawa, Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2019.Minister of Democratic Institutions Karina Gould says that the governing Liberals may have to require social-media giants to act when they fail to remove hate speech from their platforms.

Mr. Erskine-Smith said the committee has recommended imposing a requirement on social-media platforms to remove “manifestly illegal content in a timely fashion,” which includes hate speech, harassment and disinformation.“That’s posted on Facebook, that’s left on Facebook. … So should we expect social-media companies to act or should we require them to act?”

The RCMP said on Monday that they are aware of the comments made on Facebook, and that they take all threats made against the Prime Minister very seriously. Facebook Canada, when asked about the Yellow Vest page and the comments made about Mr. Trudeau, said in a statement the company does not tolerate “harassment or credible threats of violence on Facebook and it’s our aim to prevent any potential real-world harm that may be related to content on our platform.

globepolitics Good god, that’s the last thing the people need. I can see it beneficial to the liberals though.

globepolitics Hate speech is not confusing and definition is universal. . Hate means one wishes another dead and unless we want to become barbarians like the Vikings who kill without speech then we should refrain from hate. . I dislike many things and people but never wish any dead or harm. ..

globepolitics What was quoted in this article as “hate speech” is not hate speech. Is any speech deemed offensive to some now hate speech? By that definition, all speech could be hate speech.

globepolitics Everyone has a different idea of what 'hate speech' really is. But can you legislate 'hate thoughts'?

globepolitics Social media companies already do 'act' on hate speech. The problem is, they're not consistent. People get banned for criticizing ideologies, yet other people face no punishment for preaching hate towards whites.

globepolitics Canada already has laws to deal with this issue. I guess I shouldn't be surprised the Liberals are in favour of censorship though.

globepolitics What?
