arriving in Canada πŸš¨πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Contact your federal MP and the office of the Prime Minister this week to tell them you strongly oppose the privacy-destroying and inefficient measure.

'Prime Minister Mark Carney said last month that the idea β€œmerits an open and considered debate in Canada,” although he does not have a settled view on it yet and said there were good points on both sides.'

Liberal party adopts motion to ban kids under 16 from social media

Federal Liberals voted in favour of setting 16 as the age of majority for Canadians to be able to use social media accounts.

@Em0nM4stodon Don't these kids have parents? Shouldn't their parents be keeping them safe on the internet? Would these same people let their kids loose in a large city to roam all day and night without supervision?

Alpha Male Martha Stewart πŸ‰πŸŒˆ These maassive, highly profitable companies should also be doing their part in actually moderating their platforms, or they should no longer have platforms.

Moderated social media on smaller websites is what many of us grew up with, and it is manageable. Facebook, Twitter and Reddit just don’t want to do the job, so they shouldn’t have the privilege of hosting such platforms. This is just an attempt to shielld them from their responsibilities to their users.

@kichae I almost missed this toot because I have all mentions of twitter filtered as "possible child porn" because it is the largest child porn creation and dissemination website on the planet.

That being said, This is absolutely one head of the hydra that is working to ruin the web, democracy, the environment, etm

Sites that were run by people not corps were safer, and more fun.But you know know capitalism or something.
