Reposted by Mandi GrayCynthia Khoo @cyn-k.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Been planning to share my comments from last week's #CIGF2024 Online Harms Act panel.

I was asked to discuss potential unintended consequences of Part 1 and how to mitigate them. 🧵cbc.caLiberals split online harms bill to postpone debate over policing hate speech | CBC NewsThe Liberal government is splitting its online harms bill into two separate pieces of legislation in an effort to sidestep a divisive debate over the bill and speed up passage of measures to protect children from online predators. 192
