With the Bill to be split, it is worth emphasizing that Parts 2 and 3 are also worthy of study, but it requires greater consultation, abandonment of some of the most problematic provisions. It was a distraction to Part 1 but important in its own right.
A difficult decision for Justice Minister Virani today, but ultimately splitting Bill C-63 was the right one. From the beginning, the core of the #OnlineHarmsBill has been about prioritizing the safety and well-being of Canadian children.

OpenMedia's advocacy of digital rights is invaluable to Canada. Civil society orgs are crucial to internet governance and we don't have many in Canada so the few we have carry a heavy burden. Helpful FAQ here and amendments.

Thanks @mgeist and @taylor_owen. With more time, I am convinced we could have solved a bunch of tech law and policy issues. The gist: Announce now to split the bill, get Part 1 to committee stat for thorough study and amendments, start building out the Digital Safety Office.

The burden and is borne by certain groups. We can equally value to the fundamental importance of expression and recognize the new attack vectors, uniqueness of tech and that harm is not equally distributed. Many of the new laws, good or bad, are attempts to balance these things.
