This is how things worked in 🇧🇬 before the iron curtain fell. The heuristic for an authoritarian regime is the lack of ability to criticize, and discuss.

Wtf is this? Canada you ok m8?
So shitty. He's lost the majority vote in the past 2 federal elections. But he won on "seats". So many Canadians are brainwashed af but only now are waking up. Too fucking late.
Censorship, fuck yeah!
Non-state media is correct in this case.
What a coward.

D'oh Canada 🍁
Same going in Brazil. Google, Meta and Telegram are being prosecuted for sharing their concerns with a bill that was being voted and would be very damaging to social platforms.
How is it possible that Canadians tolerate basically living in a totalitarian dictatorship? People are jailed for "badthink"! Bank accounts are closed for people who don't spout the garbage promoted by the dictator! #freecanada #trudeausucks #trudeau #canada #grownostr
I think it's a good thing that the news is all manipulated by political parties anyway, so it's much cleaner to not see any news on social media sites.
I myself block news media users whether on Twitter or Nostr.
If I want to read news I go directly to the news website, not to the social media platforms where people repost news.
Isn’t the news actually still there? It’s just not being aggregated by Zuck’s data mining algorithms. Surely if people want Canadian news they can still access the original source instead of following links posted by friends. Personally I haven’t gotten a link from FB or Insta in close to a year.
Sadly- no surprises there.
JT is the worst Prime Minister in the history of Canada. Disgrace. WEF puppet.
eh, no - not even close. Not a fanboy of JT here, but I do understand the reasoning. Media isn't quite the same up here as it is down in the States, but from my understanding, some of the arguments for Bill C-18 are:
- It would support the Canadian news industry, which has suffered from the loss of advertising revenue to tech platforms which regularly have attribution ripped from content.
- It would ensure fair and transparent negotiations between news publishers and tech platforms, and prevent platforms from discriminating against certain news sources.
- It would recognize the value of news content and the public interest in having access to diverse and reliable information.
- It would benefit small and local news outlets, which are more vulnerable to the dominance of tech platforms.
