When it comes to Canadian PM Justin Trudeau’s Orwellian Online Harms Act, tech titan Elon Musk gets it: “This sounds insane.”
Insane is putting it mildly; look at some of the law’s provisions.
-Rewarding people who snitch on their “hateful” neighbors up to $20,000 and making the thought criminals pay up to $50,000.
-Allowing the possibility of a literal life sentence for online hate crimes, including speech.
-Letting judges, based on snitch testimony, jail people for up to a year because someone thinks they might commit a hate crime.
The law would also empower the cops to comb through your old posts — including those made before the law even passed — and punish you.
