Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, “fake news” is in the eye of the ideologue. This is nothing more crushing dissent by left wing authoritarians. Ny site has been designated “fake” by Facebook when, in fact, I link and source all of my posts and have for 15 years.
Trudeau announces ‘digital charter,’ tells social media companies to fight fake news or be fined
By Staff Reuters, Global News, May 16, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementPrime Minister Justin Trudeau said social platforms were “failing their users” on Thursday, while speaking at the Viva Technology conference in Paris.
He said his government would hold companies to account for fake news, and that they had to make major improvements to their means of dealing with the issue or there would be “meaningful financial consequences.”
“The platforms are failing their users. And they’re failing our citizens. They have to step up in a major way to counter disinformation, and if they don’t, we will hold them to account and there will be meaningful financial consequences,” he said Thursday.
The prime minister also attended a meeting of world leaders on Wednesday to discuss online extremism, co-chaired by French President Emmanuel Macron and New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
His government was one of many to sign on to the “Christchurch Call,” a pledge taken by governments and CEOs of tech companies to take action against violent terrorist and extremist content online.
Referring to the Christchurch attacks in New Zealand in which a lone gunman killed 51 people at two mosques and live streamed the event on Facebook, he said it was now “time to talk about policy.”
“It’s up to the platforms and governments to take their responsibility seriously and ensure that people are protected online. You don’t have to put the blame on people like Mark Zuckerberg or dismiss the benefits of social platforms to know that we can’t rely exclusively on companies to protect the public interest,” Trudeau continued.
He announced that Canada would be launching a digital charter, touching on principles including universal access and transparency and serving as a guide to craft new digital policy.
Speaking about Canada’s upcoming federal election, he said the government was taking steps to eliminate fake news and that a new task force had been created in order to identify threats to the election and prevent foreign interference.

4 years agoReply to Achmed MohandjobThey are about to release the list of “approved” media, and yes, it was 600mil tax payer dollars.
The glaring hypocrisy in this article is the focus on Christchurch and absolutely nothing on Sri Lanka or any of the other thousands of attacks and killings at the hands of Islam worldwide. The results from this charade are obvious and can be nothing other than more silence to the “dissenting” voice. Each of these little Hitlers deserve the rope.

4 years agoThe maestro of Fake-News, Trudeau wants to silence, censor those opposing his Leftist-Fascist, pro-Islam mandate. Trudeau is a gormless, fetid, poor excuse for a leader but more so, a human being. One can only hope that the Canadian electorate is savvier this coming October by giving Trudeau and his tagalong Liberals the boot. G-d, the she-man is a repugnant a-hole.
4 years agoReply to Ziggy46TOO LATE! the election is already decided by him and his illegals who all can vote numerous times as they don’t need I.D. or citizenship. I warned back in 2015 that IF HE IS VOTED IN, WE WON’T BE ABLE TO GET RID OF HIM!
was I wrong??
EVERYTHING HE HAS DONE, I WARNED WOULD HAPPEN AND I’M TELLING CANUKS AGAIN, WHEN HE GETS IN IN OCTOBER, WE ARE UNDER FULL SHARIA , NO FREEDOMS, RIGHTS, OR RIGHT TO BE HERE IN CANUKISTAN.
THERE WILL BE NO HEALTH CARE, PENSION, OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR US AS WE WILL BE SLAVES TO ISLAM!
No one is coming to save our sorry asses as he has given the middle finger to all our former allies.
canuks must all be SO PROUD as you have LOST YOUR NATION, DEMOCRACY, FREEDOMS AND SOON, LIVES BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY SHOPPING AND WORRING ABOUT YOUR ‘ENTITLEMENTS’ TO GIVE A GOOD G.D. WHO YOU VOTED FOR!

Truth is getting out and must be silenced. Pile on with more lies about how wonderful Muslim refugees and Muslim migrants are. The natives are waking up and might rebel.4 years agoIn Trudeau’s world fighting fake news equals censoring anything conservative.

force had been created in order to identify threats to my re-election. There, fixed it for you.4 years agoIf Trudeau gets another term, expect Canada to start turning into the UK where Leftist fascists work to Islamify the nation, uphold Sharia law and jail anyone who dares to criticize Islam or Leftist rule. Hopefully Canadians will wake up and vote for Scheer before things get really ugly.
4 years agoReply to Rick JamesYou’re right.
Another term from Junior and Canada will have a very difficult time recovering.4 years ago“He said his government would hold companies to account for fake news…” I wonder how far up the chain he would extend this? Web hosting companies? ISP’s?
I can only imagine what the definition of “fake news” will be in Trudeau’s muslum friendly Canuckastan. Maybe something like whatever we say it is.4 years agoTrudeau is nothing more then a mooslum humper.
4 years agoIf anyone looks more like a feminine girlie-guy, Trudeau fits the bill. He is definitely a female masquerading a man.

4 years agoTrudeau is God’s Judgement on this sinful nation. (God always gives the people what they want). But our Canadian Democracy “really a communist/muslim dictatorship”, will soon be eliminated and replaced with a Theocracy !

Rev. Roy……<><
4 years agoReply to RevRoyHe’s good. He reminds me a little of Mahou Shojou who used to come up w/some really funny pics of Turdeau.
4 years agoReply to williamdiamonI know, funny about that. Like he was a Manchurian candidate? In 2007 Newsmax and Human Events between them published his voting record in the Illinois Senate, pertinent quotes from his book, described his friendships with Frank Davis and Bill Ayers among others, detailed interesting financial deals including the sweetheart deal for his home, exposed the Rev Wright church he patronized, his Kenyan childhood, as well as other damning information that was ignored, then buried by the MSM.
All of it painted a picture of him as the ultimate candidate – if you wanted to destroy the nation from within, and starting at the top. He certainly lived up to descriptions as he did everything I expected a communist in his position to do at every step he made. Ill admit though, the arrogance was surprising, he didn’t even try to hide it.

4 years agoTrudeau is either a secret Muslim or unbelievably stupid useful idiot that true, Koran devoted Muslims must be laughing about.
4 years agoOur prime minister Trudeau is unquestionably the greatest threat to Canada and our freedom ! He is not only a Globalist, he also has a love for Islam (also a horrible threat) and continually shows that he is a strong leftist politically.
4 years agoSecret convert!!!!????
4 years agoIf any news outlet disagrees with him, will he call them fake news? There lies the problem. This is nothing but censorship.
