"The Government of Canada has introduced the Online Harms Act, legislation to make online platforms responsible for addressing harmful content and for creating a safer online space that protects all people in Canada, especially children. The Bill's core components are: 1. The introduction of a new legislative and regulatory framework, the Online Harms Act, to reduce exposure to seven kinds of harmful content on online platforms, including livestreaming and adult content services. This new Act would also create a new Digital Safety Commission to enforce the framework and a Digital Safety Ombudsperson to provide support for users and victims; 2. Changes to the Criminal Code to better address hate crime and hate propaganda; 3. Changes to the Canadian Human Rights Act to allow individuals and groups to file complaints against people who post hate speech online; and 4. The enhancement of the laws to protect children from sexual exploitation through amendments to an Act respecting the mandatory reporting of internet child pornography by persons who provide an internet service"--Supplied from Canadian Heritage.
