00:00:00.000 China-style censorship. China-style censorship. Massive censorship
00:00:06.720 bureaucracy. These are the terms that conservatives or people who want to
00:00:11.700 defend free speech should be using in regards to the Social Media Safety Act
00:00:18.800 or whatever it's called. Safe Social Media Act, Bill C-34. I'm Greg Wycliffe,
00:00:24.120 Canadian nationalist. I've been researching free speech in Canada for
00:00:27.960 years. They've tried to pass this legislation for years in various forms. C-34 is the most recent
00:00:34.740 one. A lot of people are talking about it's going to ban 16 year olds and people who are under 16
00:00:40.100 and there's going to be digital ID and yada yada yada. Although there's truth to this, this is not
00:00:45.580 the most outrageous and bad part about C-34. Don't believe me? Ask people in Hong Kong, ask people in 0.80
00:00:55.160 china what they wish they had in terms of free speech it's not going to be oh i wish kids under
00:01:01.640 the age of 16 had social media and twitter no it's going to be the fact that they have this 0.92
00:01:08.520 oppressive overbearing bureaucracy that's part of their government that monitors all content i.e 0.76
00:01:15.960 everything that's said on the chinese internet that's what they're gonna wish was not around
00:01:21.240 And with C-34, they're creating a massive bureaucracy to monitor content on the internet. 0.97
00:01:29.040 And right now, there's a lot of hope, actually, because we have time.
00:01:32.420 We have a lot of time to try and correct this.
00:01:35.560 And we need to change our rhetoric quick.
00:01:38.360 Because the frame that the conservatives are pushing on, it's basically this.
00:01:43.840 The leftists are saying, we've got to protect kids online, we've got to protect kids online.
00:01:48.040 and then the conservatives are like this doesn't protect kids online what do you mean you don't
00:01:53.320 guys care about kids to be fair i've been guilty of that in the past as well but we need to
00:01:57.560 completely completely change the frame away from that and tell the truth on how urgent this is
00:02:03.560 this creates a china style censorship bureaucracy on all canadian content and potentially all
00:02:11.840 communications in general i don't know if it goes into private messaging but the legislation is very
00:02:16.760 vague and it's kind of creepy that more conservatives aren't talking about that
00:02:20.040 element of it so this frame of protecting kids and digital id it's a losing frame change the frame 0.99
00:02:25.560 to we don't want to become like china we want to keep our free speech we don't want an orwellian 0.67
00:02:31.320 authoritarian government monitoring everything that canadian citizens say
