2/ As a result of this move, Google and Facebook both removed Canadians news outlets from their feeds, keeping the info from the Canadian population.
3/ This shows how governments are stepping up their control. We know that tyranny is the call of the day. It also shows why a platform such as Hive is essential going forward.
4/ We have the ability to post text at the base layer in a way that is censorship resistant. The fact that anything on the chain can be accessed through the block explorer is powerful.
5/ This law out of Canada will not be the las. Of course, the government sponsored media is not under this.
