Post title: “ban X” — an insane idea that is not going to happen.
The petition: “stop using X” — a good idea that they should’ve done already.
Yeah I haven’t watched much TV since twenty years ago, forgot for a moment how tightly regulated broadcasting is. By contrast, nobody has even talked about banning the RT web site. For the most part, banning the use of foreign websites is something only autocratic censorship-heavy states are in the business of doing. Canada’s one attempt to block some random for-profit pirate streaming site that almost nobody had heard of was dangerous enough.
Would you ban the broadcast of CBS News as well?
Canada should not ban individual social media services one at a time. It can’t be justified, constitutionally or morally. Canada should instead pass a privacy law that prohibits the surveillance capitalist dirty tricks that make them profitable, and design regulations that require interoperability.
Of course that would require a government capable of designing good tech regulation, which we don’t seem to have much chance of seeing around here any time soon.

Also that we might otherwise stop doing some of those things.
Drop the tariffs and we’ll allow US banks to operate in Canada, allow American cars to be sold here, ban all exports of fentanyl, and stop booing your national anthem.
Mozilla, please. The wording of things in the terms of use document is not the main problem. The exact legal interpretations given to them does not make much difference. That you suddenly feel the need to impose on your remaining users a “terms of use” agreement at the same time as you stop promising not to sell user data is not conducive to retaining your credibility.

Rule 1: Crushing people with tanks is fine so long as it’s our side doing it.
Literal fucking tankies. I wonder if they will ever come to their senses. Oh well, it’s not as if there aren’t Nazi instances somewhere on fedi as well.
I’m watching on cpac.
Good speech from Chrétien, considering he’s 90 years old although the people yelling “woooo!” after every other sentence should maybe calm down a bit.
