Our Internet is trapped in dangerously lobbyist-infested waters. Tell your local MP candidates NOW how to put things back on course.
Send Ian Scott an invite for patio beers to talk Internet regulation — just like he did with Bell!
At an Ottawa pub in broad daylight, the CRTC chair sat down for beers with Bell’s CEO — an official, registered lobbying meeting — just weeks after Bell filed its appeal of the CRTC’s 2019 wholesale rates. Let’s invite Ian Scott for a beer too, as this seems to be how we'd get our voices heard.
Tell the Senate: Uphold democracy, and scrutinize C-10!
The government’s outrageously flawed broadcasting Bill, C-10, just passed in the House of Commons — because our government bypassed democracy, pulling out every dirty trick in the book to get it done. But the Senate can still stop C-10, so don't miss the chance to ask them to do so!
The CRTC just screwed Canadians, and only the government can fix it.
In a shameless policy reversal, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) just scrapped its own lower Internet wholesale rates from 2019 and reverted to the oppressively high 2016 rates — despite us already paying some of the highest prices in the world!
Stop Rogers from buying out Shaw!
If we don’t stop this disaster of a sale, fewer providers in the market will lead to these services getting even MORE expensive!
Ask your MP to fix Bill C-11 and #FixPrivacy in Canada
Our government boasted about imposing some of the highest fines for privacy violations in the world. Now we know these fines won't apply to many of Canada’s most high profile and egregious privacy incidents over the last few years. Ask your MP to amend Bill C-11 to make privacy protections stronger.
BRING BACK NET NEUTRALITY!
Two FCC commissioners are against Net Neutrality, and two are for it. With one empty seat on the FCC, President Biden must urgently appoint a pro-consumer, pro-Net Neutrality commissioner.
Tell Minister Champagne: Protect our phones from fraud!
SIM card fraud is a type of identity theft where scammers gain control of your phone number and online accounts through your cell phone service provider. We need clear, strong and transparent rules with real solutions to stop it.
U.S: Support the bill to ban facial recognition
