Canada is going through the same type of censorship, but under the guise of promoting "Canadian content" As if our culture is in danger of disappearing if we cant watch "Canadian" movies and "Canadian" news. The dangerous side is that the gov wants content providers to manipulate their algorithms to promote some deemed "Canadian" content and demote others. Dangerously close to state controlled media with a prettier veneer so it doesnt look like authoritarian play it is. So far there's enough pushback to keep the bill from passing but that doesnt stop the gov from continuing to push.
