Roses are Red

Elon Musk can’t take a page from his American playbook to influence Canada’s election, writes @evegaumond.bsky.social nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

Forget about Musk’s citizenship, enforce the Canada Elections Act

Protecting Canadian democracy is precisely what the legislation is for and one of its great features is that it forbids undue influence from foreigners

I kinda feel like the fact that Quebecers find the project laughable makes it less of a pressing issue for Anglo Canadian journalists? Perhaps even encourages them to ignore it because their criticisms could actually bolster support for the project?

What can academics do to help government shape policy?

“Put your work out there.” For regulators. For the public. It’s incredibly helpful.

As an outsider, one thing that always strikes me at @cdtsuottawaclts.bsky.social events is the immense impact Ian Kerr seems to have had on people. It’s fascinating to see how he inspired people to be scholars whose brilliance is matched only by their kindness.

Policy idea: jurisdictions that require platforms to maintain ad registries should also require them to ask civil society organizations if they want to host the data before deleting it.

Google has deleted its political ad archive for the EU, thus the last 7 years of ads, of political spending, of messaging, of targeting - on YouTube, on Search and for display ads for countless elections across 27 countries are gone

Inspired by a preventive dispute mechanism developed in the U.S. in the 70's to resolve tensions between the U.S. gov and large engineering companies working on military projects, @catherineregis.bsky.social and I have tried to imagine how states and platforms could collaborate on tech regulation.

Attends. Ce qui est amusant aussi, c’est qu’il avait besoin d’être briefé sur c-27. Ça ne donne pas l’impression de quelqu’un qui a une longue et vaste expérience du domaine…

You radicalize people by telling them working should be fun. And then they become ungovernable.

Well, now that it’s been discussed on @radiocanadainfo.bsky.social, maybe it can leave the realm of wild ideas and enter the world of ideas actually worth exploring?

Just to be clear, this is an alternative to the global trend of adopting laws that require people to either upload a picture of their ID or have an AI scan their face to guess whether or not they’re over a certain age. #S-209 #S-210

(3) Strengthen Canadian sovereignty and lead by example by showing the world that you can "protect the kids" without infringing on their human rights.

(2) Create financial incentives for parents to buy the "BlackBerry for Kids"--subsidize the company so it can offer the cheapest phone on the market, and provide tax breaks or tax refunds to parents who purchase it, etc.

And here’s a wild take: it should start with a rights-preserving online age-assurance strategy that goes like this:

(1) Invest in RIM to create a "BlackBerry for Kids".

*it made Its way*

But this typo reveals something even more exciting! Not only did the game reach Canada, it also reached French Canada, where people are a little less familiar with the ins and outs of running a platform because of language barriers!

Gardons contact! L’auditoire de DSTV a manifestement envie de lire votre essai! Et puis, j’avoue être moi aussi curieuse de lire le fruit de vos réflexions—car je le suis toujours. Mais aussi, un peu, car j’écris sur des questions connexes et qu’il y a peu d’auteurs francos à se mettre sous la dent.

You get the best of both worlds, as Miley Cyrus would say. Quebec scholar @lplampron.bsky.social meets #DogShirtTV cinematic universe—and gets swept into some unexpected Washington DC drama.

The tests were conducted in French—a language in which if you say you’re a lawyer, and ask the chatbot to respond accordingly, you automatically disclose your gender.
