Today is a sad day for free speech in Canada.
With the official passage of Bill C-11, which aims to censor and regulate the internet through the manipulation of social media algorithms (including Twitter), Canadians can no longer be confident that the content they see on social media is being independently distributed and ranked according to their interests and activity.
Instead, this bill, which was/is supported by both the NDP and Liberals, gives the government (through the CRTC) the power to compel certain content from "preferred distributors" (like the CBC) to the top of Canadians' news feeds, "recommended videos" and "up next" playlists – and, by extension, to bury the rest.
In short, this is an attempt to control what Canadians think, by controlling what they see. To interfere and meddle in the marketplace of ideas in an effort to engineer cultural outcomes complimentary to the ideology they prefer.
Too little, too late. As usual. You honestly think a mad scramble for search engine results at this late stage is going to matter as AI is in the process of making them redundant altogether? Ask yourself this; knowing how lazy people naturally tend to be, if they are faced with a choice of spending hours rooting about Google results for curated content or simply telling a chatbot to create and supply them with whatever they require inside of scant seconds... what do
That's right... Truedeaup is playing at being a neutered idiot, I think that much is clear. The technocracy has stooged him yet again. Shit, he hasn't even caught up on the whole VPN workaround, meaning anyone with a few dollars to spare a month can digitally hop the border for US's search results, tweets, YouTurds and Fecesboobed inteactions, bypassing Canadian restrictions entirely. More advanced users are cottoning on to alternative media sources like Rumble, Bitchute and Odysee, along with the ever growing parallel internet society that CBC would trash endlessly rather than admit to being as useless as the cunt trying (and failing) to push them to the head of the queue.
It's the wild west all over again and Truedeaup and his plantation owner mentality are powerless to prevent it. But only as long as you refuse to give them any quarter. That means finding work arounds for every leash they attempt to tie you down with, slipping their nooses at every turn while they wail impotently what cunts you all are for not being the obedient slaves to them that they wished you'd be.
