But I certainly don’t mean to put this all on Mastodon!  strategically, fedi has an opportunity for some very attractive positioning here for people who want to fight surveillance capitalism and understand that it’s not just about the technology.  “A lot of people here see it that way, and so do key influencers , here’s what we’re doing” is a strong message.  “A lot of people here see it that way but it’s not a priority for key influencers” is … less compelling.

@evan Canada could be a very good place for this focus.  #BillC34 is just s big a threat in Canada as #KOSA is in the US, and there are a lot of Canadian fedi instances and Canada-based platforms (CC @dansup @julian @chris).

@OpenMediaOrg is here in fedi and is hard at work on this - https://mastodon.social/@OpenMediaOrg/117043989304695992 is their latest in an excellent thread.  And @Paulatics is here too, and she’s a great potential ally on this (how I wish we had a US Senator like her on fedi!).

So perhaps a good topic for #fedicon?

🇨🇦 does not have to choose between safety and rights, we can build an Internet that protects both!

If enough of us speak up now, we can push MPs to fix #BillC34. Tell our government today: hold platforms accountable without banning or surveilling users! https://openmedia.org/BillC34-mtd

The same child safety goals behind #BillC34 can be met through safety by design—without turning every user's identity into a compliance checkpoint. Parliament can fix #BillC34 and build safer online spaces that protect users, #privacy AND free expression! https://candiceodgers.substack.com/p/why-i-changed-my-mind-about-age-gating

🚨 PROTECT PRIVACY, FREEDOM & STOP SURVEILLANCE!

🇨🇦 Ban illegal harms, not young Canadians! Bill C-34 should be amended to hold platforms accountable, protect privacy and free expression, and keep young people connected.

The #Liberal Party of Canada broke their promise. Before last year's election, they promised us no age verification. Now, they plan to introduce mandatory ID age verification for social media: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1/bill/C-34/first-reading.

🇨🇦 just released its 2026 online safety plan – and despite a smart duty of care foundation, it layers many bad ideas on top.

Importing a social media ban for under-16s from 🇦🇺 that nobody thinks is working, and a potential age gate over large swaths of 🇨🇦's internet. #cdnpoli #BillC34

Bill C-34, the new Digital Safety Act / Safe Social Media Act.

If this passes, this will have sweeping repercussions for the Canadian fediverse.
