Oddbean new post about login | logout Canada forces companies to censor news unless it’s from pre-approved sources, apparently that includes entire countries. This started happening when there was a surge of non-government funded media which was getting more attention and saying not so nice things about trudeau. His ideas are so bad he has to give billions of printed and stolen dollars from the pre-approved CBC just so they can say how awesome he is. It’s literally their job to say nice things about him otherwise they would lose funding. This country is a clown show. This is why we need nostr. https://i.nostr.build/VYnA.jpg
Canada used to be great. Then it was not. Sad.
Yeah, it used to be a 'nice' version of the US, but excessive gov't control over institutes is turning it into a complete dystopia.
Indeed. I’m not even considering visiting anymore.
A lot of smart people I know left or are leaving.
I can't stand Canada with a passion.
Where are they going
Mexico, Portugal
I'm not sure if europe is a better place to stay right now
Something really frustrating about seeing good people leave Canada because of someone as trashy as Justin Trudeau. Make him leave instead.
The craziness continues to accelerate!
A slippery slope...
That's how freedom / press freedom looks like. Authoritarianism is like a pandemic. nostr:nevent1qqsvdcpcfku5y29yuwlflwhw5c7knc7379c7wuym8eud3du3lglz8rqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsygpjuxp8vd29p6ancknaztql3eajk52y8xkppfn7au7elkw9c68zg5psgqqqqqqszxc00y

Canadians need to be less nice and more pissed off.
Oh don't worry, we are extremely pissed at the current government and the decisions they made since 2015
IMO, number one way to respond to a shitty government is leave nobody can tell me that they didn't see it coming, when it goes auschwitz at this point, c'mon i mean, isn't one of the common gambits these pigs are playing to lure in migrants to vote for them using the welfare system? oh yeah that's their achilles heel nobody goes to the gas chambers if everyone already went somewhere else
Problem is where do you go? Every government is changing all the time.
they don't change overnight, one by one more and more districts get scumbags in control and then before you know it they are starting to make idiotic dictats first thing that tyrants do is build an illusion they have power, first mistake is to think it's real just travel a little and you'll see where the veil is thin and you can probably hold out there country towns and islands and mountains... it's not hard to figure out, just make it a priority
Believe me, we are!
I know lots of people who left Canada bc of these and other reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7s-BgfcFXw
can you bypass this content lock with vpn / tor?
Just tested and vpn works
I'm just waiting for the attempts to censor nostr 🤔 at least thinking about the app stores as one vector
The appstore clients would be the obvious places to start. Then relays maybe? They would have to put in a lot of work. would be great to see an attack like that in Canada. The PR would be amazing and nostr would level up for sure.
*Insert your favorite newspaper here* "nostr social media for criminals"
How a band of far right wingers led by Jack Dorsi are attempting to recreate the internet: Their success could put your loved one in real danger.
Yeah it'll get to the point of takedown requests on relays and their ISP's. The sooner nostr operates through Tor by default the better.
I think that at some points they'd target the Devs. Hope I'm wrong, but stay safe.
We wouldn't want you to start thinking things we don't want you to think okay?
Keep building, thank you for your hard work!
But, but, but, that means nostr isn't working in Canada either? Right? Right!
Soon, it will happen in Brazil. Supreme Court supports censorship.
How can Canadians accept this?
We don't...
Embarrassment of a nation
Our nation is great, our "leader" and his government is not...

Little China. People need to start doing something about this.
Hallo, Meinungsfreiheit 👋 nostr:note1cmsrsndegg52fca7n7awaf3ad83arut3uacfk0ncmzmer737ywxqhyzrqs
Fuck Trudeau. nostr:nevent1qqsvdcpcfku5y29yuwlflwhw5c7knc7379c7wuym8eud3du3lglz8rqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygpjuxp8vd29p6ancknaztql3eajk52y8xkppfn7au7elkw9c68zg5psgqqqqqqsdp85vn
Wtf?!?!??
Not entirely, AFAIU. Canada tried to force Google/facebook/etc to pay media companies every time someone viewed news content via social media or search sites. In response, various social media sites simply stopped displaying any news to avoid having to pay. It was ultimately settled with a substantially watered down bill very recently, but I’m not sure if everything has been updated.
So Will is just totally full of it here?
Pretty much. You can argue the outcome of the Canadian governments regulation is censorship. But it certainly isn't the intended result and he's got all the details totally wrong.
maybe I’m mixing this up with something else? trudeau at one point was trying to remove independent media licenses for non-government funded media like rebel news because they were the only ones asking hard questions during covid, and denied them access to press conferences and refused to answer questions from them. Thats what i was referring to, but may not be related directly to the instagram result, I assume its all related to the general attempt to centralize media so they can continue to lie to canadian citizens without pushback. Maybe @NVK has a better perspective, I find canadian politics mind numbing.
What you said was “Canada forces companies to censor news unless it’s from pre-approved sources, apparently that includes entire countries.” That's not remotely true. In fact, it's kinda the opposite: the big media is getting unintentionally censored. Smaller, unapproved, and especially unofficial, news sources are unaffected by the link tax laws.
I’d call it totalitarian neo-liberalism, which is actually just a fancy words for fucking social capitalists Nazis
So you are using twitter. its known since a long time that twiiter is a train wreck. Its a faiure, so the sky is blue and fire burn. Wonder what next wonder u find. https://void.cat/d/MA8Q1y2wqe8FWxXTw3qfNz.webp
It's comming to other places too. My guess is the EU, UK, Australia & NZ are heading this way very very fast. nostr:note19y6u2mf6sg0nc5cnjtd65yzzjgptlzwjvq0t8sdjr8422r6y4fssjruxw6

Any names?
Never have I witnessed a more divisive Canadian government than Trudeau’s. Create more problems, spend endlessly, and endlessly blame. The Trudeau plot has been lost long ago. They are coming for his head internally but that won’t change things, given the appetite for censorship is now entrenched. Regardless of party or leader, the system underpinning all of this is broken, and the tea leaves are drizzling with poison. A bonafide shit show indeed. // Don’t get me started on another party propping them up. Libdp party. The old system is awash. Long live freedom data and money. OP PP ya feel me? Knew ya would 🫂 🤗🎄
Why do you people allow this?
Canadians have an inferiority complex because they aren't Americans so to make themselves feel better they tell themselves everything America stands for is wrong, and that includes things like freedom. Canadians say things like " we here in Canada measure fuel economy in liters per 100 kilometers and Americans measure it in Cheeseburgers per Freedom " Hope it sounds just as funny when you're telling that joke in a Gulag.
Is Canada on its way to be China 2.0? Kind of seems like it
Welcome to the Canada, a WEF province.
i can't believe you were able to write a Note that doesn't sound pathetic and gay. what the fuck was that " Beep Boop " shit a while back ? do you realize that adipose tissue actively converts testosterone to estrogen ? luckily your wife won't leave you as long as you make good money but you certainly would have more respect if you had testosterone in your blood rather than estrogen. or at least pretended that you do and instead of writing "Beep Boop" asked yourself "what would Dissident Sound write" ?
beep boop
your wife is fattening you up so you can't leave. she gets your money and you get heart disease. women ALWAYS do this - it is well known. don't shoot the messenger. PS: i never spoke to your wife but she's muting me anyway because she can sense i'm on to her BS.
Not even trying to operate softly now...
Just think about all the free bitcoin when the Canadian government hands out universal basic income haha 😂
The Bugle is likely already censored in Canada
