he revealed during a videoconference.<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">&#8220;My job is to ensure the safety and security of the Canadian population,&#8221; said the minister.<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">Guilbeault revealed that the legislation being tabled is the first step in creating a &#8220;safer environment for all people online and not just for a handful,&#8221; regulating hurtful content beyond what is already covered by the Criminal Code, according to\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blacklocks.ca\/my-job-is-to-ensure-safety\/\">Blacklock&#8217;s Reporter.<\/a><\/em><\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">&#8220;With the legislation we will be tabling, it won\u2019t matter whether or not the company is Canadian,&#8221; said Guilbeault. &#8220;It won\u2019t matter where the company is registered or where their servers are located.&#8221;<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">&#8220;Once a publication is flagged it will have to be taken down within 24 hours of having it being flagged,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There are not a lot of countries that are doing that right now.&#8221;<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">&#8220;I think it\u2019s going to be a really good remedy to a number of problems but it won\u2019t solve everything,&#8221; said Guilbeault. &#8220;One of the issues I\u2019ve learned, looking at different models, is you shouldn\u2019t try to tackle everything from the get-go.&#8221;<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">Guilbeault said that hate speech will &#8220;definitely&#8221; be a part of the legislation being tabled, as well as other &#8220;online harms.&#8221;<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">Guilbeault also said that the bill will aid in maintaining the &#8220;social fabric of our society.&#8221;<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-embed-card\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=tpostmillennial&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=eyJ0ZndfZXhwZXJpbWVudHNfY29va2llX2V4cGlyYXRpb24iOnsiYnVja2V0IjoxMjA5NjAwLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfSwidGZ3X2hvcml6b25fdHdlZXRfZW1iZWRfOTU1NSI6eyJidWNrZXQiOiJodGUiLCJ2ZXJzaW9uIjpudWxsfX0%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1353779670853021696&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fthepostmillennial.com%2Ftrudeau-minister-says-coming-internet-control-bill-will-create-safer-environment-for-canadians&amp;sessionId=043f9e6ebaa69cd32baaaff5b99855f146147bc6&amp;siteScreenName=TPostMillennial&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ff2e7cf%3A1618526400629&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1353779670853021696\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">Guilbeault has previously cited surveys by the Canadian Race Relations Foundation showing that 93 percent of Canadians &#8220;believe that online hate speech and racism are a problem&#8221; and 80 percent &#8220;want social media companies to be required to remove racist or hateful content within 24 hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">Guilbeault said &#8220;the conclusions of this survey are clear. Hate speech has no place in our society. It&#8217;s time to step up against online hate. The numbers are disturbing, but they come as no surprise.&#8221;<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">He continued, &#8220;Almost half of Canadians either have experienced or seen violent and hateful content online. Canadians want us to act and that&#8217;s exactly why we intend to introduce legislation. Our approach will acquire online platforms to eliminate illegal content such as hate speech, terrorist and violent extremism, child pornography, and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images online.&#8221;<\/section>\n<section data-v-321c24c2=\"\">\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-embed-card\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TkGZwI3IQg0?start=369&amp;feature=oembed\" width=\"740\" height=\"416.25\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"mot opacity-100\" data-v-c9e29d2e=\"\" data-v-321c24c2=\"\" data-code=\"m_5|d_5\" data-slot-id=\"mot_zi2c0k9qe3acq00sbu4pak\">\n<div class=\"mot-container\" data-v-c9e29d2e=\"\">\n<div class=\"mot-label\" data-v-c9e29d2e=\"\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/trudeau-minister-says-coming-internet-control-bill-will-create-safer-environment-for-canadians?fbclid=IwAR2A5o-QItOBKa4C13XSSJiyjI31cNa4IxY5djqRuSM-jCYjR_9mhKZZSOA\">https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/trudeau-minister-says-coming-internet-control-bill-will-create-safer-environment-for-canadians?fbclid=IwAR2A5o-QItOBKa4C13XSSJiyjI31cNa4IxY5djqRuSM-jCYjR_9mhKZZSOA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trudeau minister says internet censorship bill will make Canadians &#8216;safer&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=62094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62094\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=62094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=62094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=62094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
