Oddbean new post about login | logout Ink being spilled about Canada requiring companies that host podcasts must be "registered". Assuming even half of it is true (I'm always skeptical), it's fortunately unenforcable. The podcast technology is decentralized; anyone can simply upload an mp3 and RSS file anywhere on the web. Not even the Canadian bureaucracy is prepared to "register" every site on the internet. Thank you, @d7af9dea for making the most censorship-resistant medium since usenet. Your contribution to freedom is appreciated.
@edd2f0dd @d7af9dea The goal is not to be enforced. This is typical socialist law. The goal is to make as large group of people as possible criminal for some reason or other. Then, when a person or a group finds itself in State crosshairs, State has plenty of "legal reasons" to prosecute/persecute to no end. Everyone must be guilty and those not being properly PC will be punished for that via whatever State can find for them.
