Meanwhile Tories PAss Law against Porn
The Conservatives under HarpoBot are passing this one step closer to CENSORSHIP.
The federal government is creating one of the world?s toughest laws against cyberbullying, proposing jail terms of up to five years for so-called revenge porn ? the sharing of intimate images over the Internet, without consent, whether it involves teenagers or adults.
The bill, introduced Wednesday in Parliament, goes well beyond cyberbullying to give police enhanced investigative tools to tackle a wide range of crimes, including terrorism, organized crime, theft of cable, fraud and hacking. It also broadens the definition of hate propaganda.
?This is essentially a cut-and-paste job? from that previous law on Internet surveillance, said Micheal Vonn, policy director for the BCCLA. The proposed new law would set a lower standard of ?reasonable suspicion? when police seek a judge?s permission to view e-mails and other communications, she said.
