Canadian internet censorship bill on track to pass after amendment to protect most users fails in Senate
The Senate transport and communications committee rejected a proposal that would have seen most people exempt from the new bill except for large companies or programmers.
Trudeau’s much-maligned internet censorship Bill C-11 recently passed second reading in the Senate.
The bill, titled An Act to Amend the Broadcasting Act and to Make Related and Consequential Amendments to other Acts, will now proceed to the third and final reading.
Critics have long warned that?Bill?C-11 will stifle free speech online.
Bill C-11 is accompanied by another piece of pending legislation, Bill C-18. Together, the laws would regulate the internet by forcing Big Tech companies to promote selected media outlets based on a special designation given by the federal government.
