The Online Harms Act doesn’t go far enough to protect democracy in Canada

I’ve been hoping to be able to share some of my thoughts about the media and politics in Canada, and as it turns out, the latest proposed law from the Trudeau liberals came just as my schedule suddenly cleared up! There is already lots of discussion out there of Bill C-63, the Online Harms Bill, and there is good reason to be critical, but I argue that most critics are missing a serious failing of the bill: “Online Harms” are defined in a way that excludes some of very serious forms of dangerous content. The argument is published at The Conversation. There is clearly lots more to say about the bill, and I would be happy to hear what others are thinking about it.
