00:00:00.000 Parliament's back in session and censoring the Canadian internet is one of the top priorities
00:00:04.600 of this Mark Carney administration. Bill C-34 aka the Safe Social Media Act is being pushed
00:00:11.460 and it's going to create a digital safety commission which can remove harmful content
00:00:16.720 off the internet. They've been trying to pass this legislation for years and this legislation
00:00:21.120 has seven different categories of harmful content. What is harmful content? Well a few categories are
00:00:26.640 bullying a child telling somebody to kill themselves and also targeting an identifiable
00:00:30.960 group so as an example if you post on the canadian internet that i disagree with transgenderism being
00:00:36.800 taught in school i don't think trans kids are real they could argue that that is bullying a child
00:00:42.240 telling them to kill themselves and that's targeting identifiable group there's three
00:00:46.320 examples from one post on why your post would get taken down the worst part about the safe social
00:00:52.240 media act is that it would create this massive government bureaucracy that is all about censoring
00:00:57.440 content online. This is the worst part of the bill. I'm emphasizing this because there is a big
00:01:03.000 smoke screen around the safe social media act and that is the banning of 16 year olds. Oh my god
00:01:09.480 they're gonna have digital id blah blah blah blah. Do not get distracted by this smoke screen. It's
00:01:16.620 gonna be so tempting to hop in the debate of whether 16 year olds should be banned off the
00:01:21.520 internet or not well all that's happening they want to install a censorship bureaucracy on the
00:01:28.640 canadian internet that's what people need to be worried about and emphasize that is the worst part
00:01:34.340 of the safe social media act and i'm really hoping people can put their differences aside to stop
00:01:39.040 this bill because it will be the end of free speech on the canadian internet uh it would
00:01:45.820 actually be the end if this passes the way it is
