Is that what it is? Addressing fake news? We've now removed the fake news? We are deplatforming multi billion dollar companies? lol.

I think my biggest issue with it, especially concerning criticism, is that I find it very opaque and vague. Broad sweeping generalizations without seemingly well-defined rules which just begs over-stepping of authority.
Remember: This Liberal Government. Not exactly the most moral or ethical group around. They tried to sneak through 18 months of unchecked, no oversight, unlimited spending under the guise of the Pandemic? Yeah. Those guys.
So while a lot of the detractors come off as 'Old Man Yells at Clouds' they arent necessarily entirely wrong either.
In my opinion the Government hasnt concretely demonstrated what this legislation is going to be used for, why its needed or what the Government's role, involvement and powers are.
Now, I'm not a fan of censorship of almost any kind. That being said, I also hold myself as someone who can generally tell when someone, be it a person or a 'news' outlet is trying to BS me.
I also have to acknowledge the reality that some people, seemingly a lot of people, do not possess that same ability and that perhaps there could be some benefit to getting some of this bogus BS news quashed.
They may begin by dropping a Tactical Nuke on the next Flat-Earther conference. I think the last one was in Edmonton.
Missed. Opportunity.
