@friedmandave Dumb take

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

Australia's under-16 social media ban has generated enough data to assess it and the results are consistent across studies: it hasn't worked. Yet Canada not only wants to copy it in Bill C-34, but it plans to drop the age verification privacy analysis.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

The Australian government is effectively acknowledging the obvious: its social ban isn’t working. But its answer is apparently to make the law even tougher, as if that will stop the widespread circumvention.

More social media ban data shows its ineffectiveness and widespread circumvention by those under 16:
“At follow-up, more than 86% of participants aged under 16 had accessed one or more social media platforms subject to the Act in the previous seven days”

The government plans to start the social media ban without an operational Digital Safety Commission to set standards and grant exemptions. As a result, every service will be forced to age-verify tens of millions of users, with no exemption available.

@twitscotty @bryan_johnson How many times per quarter do you need to travel internationally for a fulfilling life?

[Michael Geist @mgeist]

Rather than addressing the lawful access privacy and security concerns, the government rushed Bill C-22 through committee, cut off debate, avoided a recorded vote, and maligned critics. My post on the embarrassing final stage of a deeply troubling bill.

[profdeibert @RonDeibert]

🇨🇦 Liberals are dismissing the privacy concerns surrounding the government’s lawful access bill as “tinfoil hat” and “paranoid” conspiracy theories

So undignified & disrespectful to @citizenlab & numerous other professionals that care about this country
