Everybodyâs talking about KOSA but no one is talking about the nonsense bill S-210 that even the NDP is supporting, and will have far-reaching implications for privacy for all Canadians. Imagine having to scan your face every time you want to access websites that MAY contain adult material? And what will the government consider adult material? So many websites, including this one, may decide to just outright ban access to Canadians. Btw, the unelected senator who proposed the bill is herself a fan of KOSA.

Considering how often right-wing figures - including politicians - have wrongfully labeled anything and everything LGBTQ-related as sexual, and how many been actively targeting LGBTQ+ folks with harassment, demonization, and harmful legislation, I can see this laying the foundation for very bad things down the road, especially for this demographic.
Right?
Like, once this is allowed to become law, it means any upcoming government can start messing around with definitions so as to clamp down on any content they donât like by labelling it as âadultâ material. I wouldnât even trust the Liberals or the NDP to decide on what Iâm allowed to see, read, listen to, online. I would trust Conservatives even less!
Why the NDP is supporting a bill that will absolutely be abused down the road is beyond me.
And not just that, but the implementation of this would require extensive databases of biometrics on all Canadian citizens and residents that will have to somehow interface with random websites so that we can access them? Hello? Those databases will be fucking breached on day zero. It will be a goldmine. I donât want this fucking piece of shit bill to become law, it can be abused in too many ways.
