Episode 77: The Complexity of Internet Content Regulation - A Conversation with CIPPIC's Vivek Krishnamurthy
/

Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault seems set to table another bill that would establish Internet content regulations, including requirements for Internet platforms to proactively remove many different forms of content, some illegal and others harmful or possibly even “hurtful.” Few would argue with the proposition that some regulation is needed, but venturing into government regulated takedown requirements of otherwise legal content raises complex questions about how to strike the balance between safeguarding Canadians from online harms and protecting freedom of expression.

Vivek Krishnamurthy, is a colleague at the University of Ottawa, where he is the Samuelson-Gluschko Professor of Law and serves as the director of CIPPIC, the Samuelson-Glushko Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic. He joins the Law Bytes podcast to talk about the complexities of Internet content regulation and the risks that overbroad rules could stifle expression online and provide a dangerous model for countries less concerned with online civil liberties.

  1. I was interested in this article. On the one hand, it would be good if the Internet content is well filtered, this would protect readers from the negative influence of the information they receive from Internet sources, but on the other hand, I am sure that there will be many secret cells where prohibited content can be found. By the way, I recently found a resource Online Writers Rating with reviews on some written services. They provide services for students. Do you think these professionals will be able to make written content for my blog? Has anyone used such services for a similar purpose?

  2. This podcast explores digital policies in conversations with people studying the legal and policy challenges, setting the rules, or are experts in the field.

  3. Great article on a topic that many people find confusing.

  4. A very interesting podcast on the topic that few people talk about, although this problem is really relevant and it needs to be raised more often. Thank you, it was very interesting!

  5. While studying abroad is a rewarding experience, it is not without its drawbacks. First of all, it can be expensive. Most people cannot afford to pay for a university education upfront. They have to take loans to finance their education. After graduation, students are left with heavy debts, which can make it difficult to find a job. On the other hand, university education provides stability in one’s financial life and provides a wide network of networking opportunities.

  6. Writing a conclusion paragraph
    When writing a conclusion paragraph for a research paper, remember that it should be focused on highlighting your main points, not on adding small details. Many students tend to go on with their work, which is fine, but it can be annoying to your professor. Try to avoid adding minor points in your conclusion, which should be restricted to the main topic. Some of these minor points may include several steps in writing research or additional topics stemming from your main topic. If you need to elaborate on a particular point, compress it into one or two short sentences.
