I’m not surprised of their reaction to the new law C-18, but I’m pretty worried of its impact on the information reaching citizens and democracy.
It’s going to be pretty significant. I’m sure the vacuum will be filled by American and international news, but that’s terrible for democracy.
What ethical search engine would you recommend instead? Is DuckDuckGo still the way to go?
A vote for DuckDuckGo + Firefox here and DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials/Adblock Plus
AdBlock plus hasn’t been very good for a long time. uBlock Origin is so much better.
More proof Google and META are anti-democratic
Its very similar to the law passed in australia, and facebook and google ended up caving. So it ended up working, mostly
I think the law here is trying to get the same result. However I agree with you OP, Im not sure how successful it will be, especially if the result is more vulnerable canadians being directed toward unreliable and dangerous stuff…
I think there might have been better ways to boost trustworthy Canadian news
