Explain how it isnt lmao.

It uses a one drop rule to test websites. Once theres a teensy bit of adult content, and as has been pointed out this covers things like googles unsafe search modes, then the requirement is to block first and ask questions later.

Requiring people to be licensed or verified to access content is as much censorship as blocking it entirely. There are valid reasons to not want to be on a conservative governments list of porn users. You need to expose yourself to risk to access content? Censorship.



Let me make sure I understand what you're saying.

You expect that once this is law, that a single adult picture on the site and a complaint to the CRTC will result in a website being blocked or forced to implement age verification?

So if someone links to or sneaks in a naked picture in the comment section of a tech site that and makes a complaint, then that site face serious consequences?

>googles unsafe search mode

That's not a teensy bit of adult content.
