🚨LAST CHANCE! Soon the House of Commons will do a last vote on #BillS210, a dangerous proposal that locks up the Internet and sacrifices our privacy. Email your MP to say NO to extreme S-210 - via @OpenMediaOrg openmedia.org/NoInternetLock

The House of Commons is days from passing Bill S-210, a dangerously broad age verification bill that would put an age lock on most of Canada’s Internet and threaten every Canadian’s privacy.

This would be rather useless; it would stop porn sites from charging customers for access in Canada, and from hosting in Canada, without maintaining an age registry.

So in reality, it would require legit sites that serve R content (think NetFlix and Prime Video) to do what they already kinda sorta do, and wouldn’t impact many other services at all.
