Say NO to Government Website Blocking Powers!
The federal government’s disturbing attacks on the open Internet just won’t stop. This time it’s trying to give itself sweeping censorship powers to demand ISPs block websites, suspend our Internet, or even ban us permanently. All this, any time companies like Rogers, Disney or Bell claim we’ve improperly accessed copyrighted materials.1
This wildly overreaching proposal treats us all like potential criminals. It is disproportionate, unjustified, and open to abuse. Canada already has some of the best copyright laws in the world – we can’t afford this massive step backwards for the open Internet.
This proposal is straight off of Bell’s wishlist – they’ve already proposed it four times before. But with your help we’ve defeated it each time2, and we can do it again. The government needs a stark reminder that Canada won’t tolerate this. The consultation is only open for comments until May 31st — so speak up now and tell them to stop this censorship power grab!
