Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

If you aren't allowed to defame and slander people in real life why do you think you can do it freely on the internet? There are consequences to breaking the law.

    You’re missing the point.

    They will show you reasonable cases right now to show that “broad censorship is needed” to help combat it.

    Next there will be articles on how they need better tooling to prevent the epidemic of it.

    This is their 4th try at it by my count.
