Privacy and Access Council of Canada

The voice for privacy and access

Privacy Matters to Politicians and Political Parties

Whether you’re a member of the governing party or an opposition party, regulating the Internet will require platforms to proactively detect and analyze text and images to make sure it doesn’t undermine democracy.

• Want to tweet a critical comment or question government policy? 

• Want to support a national protest that some people call extremist?

• Want to discuss your party’s strategy or work with colleagues to challenge the leadership?

• Want to encourage whistleblowers to reveal hypocritical politicians?The Minister of Public Safety characterized that as “inappropriate and inflammatory” and called on Twitter to remove the remarks.

Proposed legislation won’t affect your Charter-protected right to question, contradict, or criticize government decisions, actions, budgets, or policies — but the platforms will have to break encryption so their algorithms can analyze everything you say, and block whatever content might not align with government-mandated content rules.
