If you were thinking the Conservatives wouldn't be as bad as the Liberals when it comes to regulating the Internet, think again. - eviltoast

As opposed to Bill C-63, which pushes [age verification bullshit] far into the future and behind closed doors through an opaque regulatory process, our new Conservative legislation will directly legislate [age verification bullshit] that online operators must adhere to.

    So we will be able to definitively identify online harassers using “burner accounts”, but we explicitly won’t have a Digital ID. And how would you do that? Are we outlawing VPNs and the Tor network? Are we requiring Canadian citizens to sign up to social media using verified accounts so they can be handed over if abuse occurs? How will they identify if you’re a Canadian and subject to these laws? The same way Texas determines you’re an adult and can view porn?
