Hi everyone!
Myself, Madison Dutkiewicz, Amory Hall, and Laura Danton will be posting our presentation next week, entitled: The Impacts of Bill C-10/11 on Streaming Services.
In preparation we have two articles for you all to read.
Firstly, we have an Article by Rachel Gilmore of Global News, examining Bills C-10 and C-11 and how they may affect streaming and freedom of expression.

Second, please read Steven Zeitchik’s “Does Netflix Have a Killer Problem” in the Chicago Tribune. This article examines the violence that is prolific on Netflix television, and the many reasons that this may be problematic.

Hi everyone,
In light of the increasing popularity of what are called “deepfakes” online, as well as the various controversies and ethical concerns surrounding them, Amalie, Mo, Grace and I (Jason) will be presenting tomorrow on the deepfake technology and some of the main legal issues around the subject. In particular, we will focus on how deepfakes are currently governed by legislation and common law, as well as some potential causes of action against the authors of deepfake content.
If you would like a brief primer on what deepfakes are, please read the following article prior to tomorrow’s class:

Hi everyone,
Adam, Will, and I (Amit) made a video presentation on the topic of internet regulation and the upcoming Online Safety Bill in the UK. In this video we talk about what this bill is about, the landscape that has prompted this bill, how the bill is designed/to be enforced, and comparable laws in the US and Canada.
To acquaint yourself with this topic we suggest you read this article before watching the video: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59638569

Hi guys,
Skye, Kirsty and I (Molly) are looking forward to presenting in class tomorrow. Democratization is defined as a transformation of political institutions that leads to the establishment and expansion of democratic institutions in a political system, and there is certainly no doubt that social media, albeit a recent phenomenon has a profound effect on democratization. Ever since the Arab Spring started ten years ago, social media has been argued to have facilitated pro-democracy movements however recent events have shown the flip side of that coin. Tomorrow we will discuss whether social media is a boon or a bane for democracy, refer to recent popular uprising to analyze this, and scrutinize whether reform or regulation is needed in Canada.
It would be great if you guys could listen to this podcast “Breaking Bongo” available here: https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radiolab/articles/breaking-bongo (there is also a transcript version available on this same link). This podcast will provide context into the powerful and potent effect communication channels have on democracy. It is a really interesting podcast based on the role of communications and social media in a turbulent Gabon. Hope you guys enjoy.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
Take care,
Kirsty, Molly & Skye
