Entire internet to be backed up in Canada over fears of censorship

[Seranthor]

It is really sad that something like this needs to be done.
I wonder where they will store it.

oh that source.. cant you find something better?

On Topic... exactly how would Trump regulate or censor the internet? I'm dying to hear a reasoned answer to this.

I'm glad Canada is on top of protecting America's freedom of speech. Maybe next election we won't decide to elect a giant orange Cheeto as president.

or a giant douce

If they archive the whole of the internet aren't they guilty of possession of child porn?

brilliant question.

For all I know, he did. Cuba is poor, sure, but it was poor to begin with and at least he improved access to education and healthcare. Whether he could have done more is another page.

For all we know, if by improving access you mean exiling a fifth of his country, executing and imprisoning people without due process because they openlh disagreed with him and making everyone equally poor, sure.

The phrase "owned", doesn't do this justice XD

Hardly, that page does not contain even half of the pages I visit frequently.

That's a lot of porn.

Fear mongering at it's finest.

Lmao.One statement to judge a person. How awful of you!

That's what you do with Trump. Are you somehow right and him wrong?

OT: It's a great attempt but man the logistics behind that have to be insane.

Doesn't Canada have ridiculous hate speech laws where you can't speak out as a Nazi or KKK member? What are they going to do with the hate speech sites?

Didn't they prosecute a comedian who made a joke about a handicapped person? It was "hateful" or something?

I find it odd you think the laws are ridiculous instead of the Nazi and KKK, but yes, Canada's laws prioritize a sense of safety for its citizens over their opinions (or right to weapons for that matter). You can't allow people to walk around with a "big iron on their hip" and also keep them safe- Just like you can't let people say whatever they want and also keep them safe from being verbally assaulted.

Canada, unlike the U.S, is based on British law* and thus does not have an equilivant to the "First Amendment" (or the "Second Amendment" for that matter). It still amazes me that there are Americans that think their laws or "rights" apply outside the U.S- if you spread hate it Canada, you will get in trouble.

Take this American who wore a "Confederate flag" pair of shorts up here for example and traumatized other event goers. It may be fashionable (literally) to scare others and opress them through turning hateful imagery into pieces of clothing in the States. It's not allowed here.

* - The province of Québec is an exception, and has their own law system and courts based on French law

Are they going to back up all the child porn, beastiality and mutilation pics as well?

[cubby]

So....whats this have to do with Trump? Nothing? Just using a touch of fear mongering to rile up some donations? Got it.

You mean the guy who wants to cut first amendment rights - is on record already saying that half a dozen need to be removed. Fear mongering is over - now it's the reality of that fear mongering that we have to deal with. You Trumpers keep telling yourself that everything is fine and he'll help all the little people, just like he never did before, while the rest of us, with our eyes open, build the arc.

Besides restricted speech, Canada has more strict libel laws, all that content defaming other people would have to be deleted. Maybe.

Floppy discs.

[GrieverXIII]

But even that was not an attack on free speech, im assuming you mean the anti riot rules in Quebec, which banned covered faces and that the groups destinations had to be transmitted to the police for safety first. Its a temporary provincial law, such laws happen even with government against its own unions to not freeze all services during disputes. When the crisis is over anybody can challenge them at the federal supreme court and they will be put to the test of the charters of rights.

Yeah its what i meant, and i agree with you, but i know many people took it the other way. I just don't see what else people could have to complain about our stance on "free speech" otherwise as far as we're concerned.
