Seems like you're making a big leap from copyright enforcement.
- Ticklee 5y agoI don't reckon he is honestly, deindexing and blocking piracy sites is just another facet of the same censorious tendencies.
- codeecan 5y agoHeres an article from Feb 2020 (last year) were Guilbeault was backtracking after a report came out that the government wanted to issue licenses for content creators. https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2020/02/03/liberals-say-they-will-never-licence-news-media-but-heres-what-they-might-do.html https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2020/02/03/liberals... > Asked if the government would block foreign websites like Breitbart News, the New York Times ... if they failed to comply ... Guilbeault said no one has said sites should be blocked in Canada but he added, “Frankly, I’m not sure I see what the big deal is.” These are the people you're dealing with, they don't see any issue with this type of censorship. Authoritarian regimes don't happen at once, they grow over time.
