Thank you very much, Minister, for all the work you are doing each and every day to better protect Canadians on digital platforms.
While we recognize that everyone has the right to freedom of speech, rules are in place to limit speech when it becomes hateful, offensive or racist. Social media have played a major role in amplifying hateful messages aimed at the most marginalized communities, violating their rights without being held responsible.
Could you please tell us how you plan to hold social media platforms accountable and make them answerable for the publication and distribution of unacceptable content?
