Justin Trudeau boasts about plan to implement MORE internet censorship at Canada-EU summit

Trudeau described the impending censorship as “a digital partnership.”
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an oblique reference to the next phase of his censorship package Thursday at a summit with European Union countries being held in St. John’s, NLB.
The Trudeau government has already passed Bills C-11 and C-18, known as the Online Streaming Act and the Online News Act. The latter legislation has resulted in Canadian news disappearing from Meta platforms because it demands payment for posting that news content.
But the third part of Trudeau’s online control is the Online Safety Act, which will soon be introduced in the House of Commons. Study groups have been prepping the legislation for two years now although the U.K. recently enacted a law with the same name and purpose as Trudeau’s policy.
Trudeau spoke of the impending bill as “a digital partnership.”
“We’re also talking about a digital partnership that is going to make a huge difference building on that as we work together to understand the impacts of AI [Artificial Intelligence], the impacts of disinformation and misinformation on the social media that people … get to [sic] overwhelmed by in so many ways that tend to exacerbate our challenges. That’s the big second announcement we’re making.”
