STOPPING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY
So, Canadian parents, just remember this...
@pierrepoilievre doesn’t want to regulate social media companies to stop the spread of child pornography or self-harm algorithms or pedophile networks , but instead prefers to let these social media companies do what they want in interest of...free speech?
He's more concerned if your kid wants to be called Samantha vs Sam than actually protecting them from predators on the Internet.
These social media companies are raking in the profits, while repeatedly getting caught exploiting our kids. These social media companies can afford to put guardrails in place. Our police departments do not have the bandwidth to tackle this out-of-control digital crisis. These social media companies do.
A reminder...
79% of sextortion incidents occurred on Instagram or Snapchat - Cybertip.ca
Instagram’s recommendation algorithms are promoting pedophile networks - The Verge
Among teens who reported suicidal thoughts, 13% of British users and 6% of American users traced the desire to kill themselves to Instagram - WSJ
The Online Harms Act is a step in the right direction and I'm disgusted - as the parent of a young teen, an online safety author, and Canadian - that @CPC_HQ is choosing to make our kids LESS SAFE online.
