Proposed Internet Regulation Bill Raises Concerns Over Reach and Impact
• Trudeau's proposed Online Harms Act is an overreach that threatens freedom, building on actions like freezing truckers' bank accounts • It would create new agencies to heavily police social media, with power to investigate and enforce rules • Controversially amends criminal code to add harsh penalties for "hate speech", including potential life imprisonment • Gives judges power to put people under house arrest even before any hate crime committed • Result would be an Orwellian, tightly controlled internet incompatible with a free society
