Alberta Senator @Paulatics delivered an excellent speech warning of the harms of online censorship, moral panic, book bans, and the problems with bans and age verifications as Senate Bill S-209 moves from the Senate to the House of Commons.

Thank you Senator! I could not agree more!

Non-consensual synthetic imagery is scaling faster than platform controls.

Recent reporting details how AI tools were used to fabricate explicit deepfakes of a public content creator - then monetize them via impersonation accounts.

Researchers documented millions of sexualized AI-generated images in a short timeframe, prompting regulatory investigations across jurisdictions.

From a security and governance standpoint:
• Identity verification failures
• Monetization platform abuse
• Content moderation lag
• Cross-platform amplification
• Enforcement complexity

This is not only a policy issue - it’s an abuse-of-technology issue.

How should AI providers implement friction without crippling innovation?

Laws are introduced globally to reduce ‘psychological harm’ online – but there’s no clear definition of what it is | The-14

Where we are now In reviewing the 80 years’ worth of work in clinical, forensic and cognitive psychology, here is what I see as the major issues concerning psychological harm. There is no agreement as to where to draw the boundary between psychological harm or related concepts and mental disorders outlined in the diagnostic manual
