The Liberals’ pitch to regulate online harms

The Liberals’ pitch to regulate online harms

By CBC

The Liberals originally promised a bill tackling online harms would come within 100 days of their re-election in 2021.


Instead, Justice Minister Arif Virani tabled their new act on Monday, which aims to create a new commission and regulate content from hate, to extremism, bullying and child abuse materials.


So did the Liberals learn lessons from a previous bill criticized for the risk of censorship? And will this current bill actually make the internet safer for children?


CBC senior reporter Raffy Boudjikanian explains.
