🇨🇦 Trudeau regime wants to criminalize deepfakes but won't force platforms to delete them
Bill C-16 adds AI-generated images to revenge porn laws, but victims still have no fast way to scrub content from the internet. Meanwhile, Trump signed a law last March forcing platforms to remove reported deepfakes within 48 hours. Canada's approach? Civil lawsuits that take months while images spread everywhere. Provinces scramble with their own patchwork tribunals because Ottawa refuses to act like a real government. One advocate confirmed the feds are missing the point entirely on victimization and removal.
This is classic Liberal theatre: criminalize the act, fund awareness campaigns, hold roundtables, but never actually force Big Tech to comply with anything enforceable. They'd rather let foreign platforms ignore Canadian tribunal orders than risk upsetting their Silicon Valley donors. Sovereignty is for other countries.
