C-34 is the NAIL IN THE COFFIN for Canadian's freedom of speech and internet access
Anytime a government says its about “protecting children” it never really is
But before looking into why this bill is the most insidious of them all, first lets recap what brought us here:
- Bill C-2: Enables warrantless digital info sharing
- Bill C-8: Enables control over cyber systems, networks, utilities and gives power to the government to secretly cut access or throttle Canadian's access to all of them… aka ban you from the internet outright (or cell network even)
- Bill C-9: Creates a vague definition of “hate” which can put you in jail, for up to LIFE in prison
- Bill C-11: Regulates online content, mandating changes in algorithm to control what content Canadians see and what gets buried
- Bill C-22: Mandatory data retention, forces companies to effectively act as government spies. Worse yet, forces companies to implement backdoors into every account and every private encrypted messages so the gov can access it, without a warrant.
And now… the latest Liberal idea for total control:
Introducing Bill C-34
1. It bans individuals under 16 from accessing various websites… not just social media platforms
2. It forces these websites to implement age verification, which can only be interpreted as meaning ID verification. This enables the enforcement of ALL other draconian Bills listed before
3. Forces websites to regulate harmful content. What is harmful content? Not defined. Will be decided later. This is dystopian… is political content harmful? If pointing out real world events happening harmful? We’re seeing the protest against immigration in Ireland and the UK right now… would such a thing be harmful in Canada?
4. Lets government agents enter “any place,” access computer systems, take documents or “ANY THING” - all under a new Digital Safety Commission tied to online speech.
5. Forces people to assist government agents in their inspections, no matter what that is
But here is where the law diverges drastically from the norm…
It gives government 50 different powers that aren’t defined yet. They will be decided later. After the fact. After debate can be had. After amendments can be brought forth. After elected members can ask questions.
Herein lies it’s insidious nature
It’s effectively a “trust me bro” , please sign me a blank check… we super duper promise not to abuse the power
Bill C-34 is not just about child safety. It's about who decides how children navigate the internet: parents or the state. Social media bans displace parental authority. But the less Ottawa relies on parents, the more it must rely on age verification, age estimation, and surveillance to enforce the ban. The more it relies on these tools, the greater the privacy cost to all Canadians.
Will Ottawa consider the possibility that parental rights and responsibilities are a practical alternative to surveillance?
@JCCFCanada The same people that promote trannies, sexualized books in public libraries, fund drag Queen shows, and public nudity displays think parents are not capable of protecting their kids. They are the predators society needs protection from. Its digital ID by the backdoor.
Bill C-34 creates a social media ban for Canadians under 16 at the expense of all Canadians' privacy.
Sections 26, 27(1), and 27(2) of Bill C-34 require that affected social media platforms “implement age-verification and age-estimation measures designed to prevent a person under the age of 16 from being able to have an account with, or be otherwise registered with,” those social media platforms.
Bill C-34 requires that such measures must provide for the “protection” and eventual “destruction” of “personal information that is collected for age-verification or age-estimation purposes.”
It is not yet clear how this will be accomplished. What is clear is that these measures must be “effective.” Users commonly verify their age by submitting government-issued identification documents, such as driver’s licenses or passports. And, the technology exists for social media platforms to estimate the ages of users through biometric data, e.g., facial geometry, eye shape, skin elasticity, hairline, etcetera.
This age-verification and age-estimation monitoring will not be limited to Canadians under age 16. For social media platforms to determine access eligibility for any user, platforms will have to evaluate the access eligibility of every user.
The goal of Bill C-34 is not merely to remove Canadians under age 16 from affected social media platforms but to keep them off those platforms. To achieve this goal, social media platforms may be compelled to adopt ongoing age-verification/estimation measures to ensure continued compliance.
However affected social media platforms satisfy these requirements, Bill C-34 fundamentally reimagines how all Canadians access social media.
This Bill deputizes affected social media platforms into forcing Canadians to surrender more data as a precondition of participation in the digital public square. This, in turn, raises serious concerns about Canadians' privacy rights and may engage constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure - guaranteed by section 8 of the Charter.

Canada's New Social Media Ban is NOT About Your Children | Here's What They're NOT Telling You
Canada just announced the Digital Safety Act — a social media ban for anyone under 16.
Most Canadians think this is about protecting children. It isn't.
To enforce a social media ban, every single Canadian will have to prove their age by attaching government-approved ID to their social media accounts. That's not child protection. That's a digital ID.
And once you're verified on one platform, that verification follows you everywhere — linking every account you own under your real identity.
But it gets worse.
This isn't a standalone policy. This is the missing piece that connects Bill C-9, C-22 and C-8 into a complete surveillance and censorship system.
Bill C-9 defines what you can and cannot say online. Bill C-22 forces platforms to save your data for up to one year. Bill C-8 gives the government the power to cut you off the internet entirely.
The digital ID created by this social media ban is what connects all three.
And they're selling it to you as child protection.
Don't be fooled. All these bills are interconnected — and this is the last piece of the puzzle.

@RupertLowe10 Restore and Reform need to put their differences aside and come together, you are just splitting the vote and helping the labour and left parties
Nobody really liked Homelander’s ending on The Boys.
…so I asked AI to fix it.
The prompts were simple:
1) Rewrite the best possible ending to The Boys.
2) Create that video.
I think everyone, especially fans of The Boys, will be very happy with the final result:
