Canadian government must provide services for blind and deaf people via Teletype or something, so at least state services are covered.
The question is what makes service critical. Is Expedia or Uber critical?
- notepad0x90 11mo agoTravel counts, sure. Food, travel, accommodations/rent/housing. Freedom to eat, to have shelter, to move about, start a business or trade with other people. New technology should not result in a reduction of freedoms, or even privileges.
- stackedinserter 11mo agoSo when I'm banned on Uber Eats, it counts as infringement of rights? Is it what you're saying?
- notepad0x90 11mo agoA ban, no, but if ubereats is required to purchase foods for example, that is an infringement. You don't have to use ubereats to buy food. Let me spin it a bit, if a new tech comes along and that results in not being able to use delivery apps like ubereats to get food, that new tech should be considered an infringement of rights. "New means by which individuals purchase food may not inhibit or otherwise reduce their ability existing means of purchasing food" that's how I'd word it. An uber eats ban is not a new mean of buying food but uber eats itself is. If doordash collaborates with payment card processors for an exclusive payment processing for delivery apps, that would be an infringement for example, because that's new tech/means reducing existing means.
