Ok so ban personal recommendation algorithms for everyone. The only thing I'd settle for is an opt-in for it if it requires ID.

    That would be a good option if the social networks didn't have a long history of acting in bad faith. I think it would be an up hill battle. This seems like a reasonable response

    Well, the only solution is horrific mass surveillance then.

    Is that seriously your argument? If you're on commercial social media you're already under horrific mass surveillance. Is that you Zuck?

    No, my argument is that requiring ID for the Internet is really really really fucking stupid

    How is that argument at all related to this conversation or the bill? What are you talking about? If this bill passes you will not require ID to user the Internet in Canada. Have you read the bill?

    They already have your name, phone number, age, gender and face... and are also tracking your every click and interest, every pause on scrolling, hover of your mouse, your relationships, where you were yesterday, the day before, what you buy....
