The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday, Feb. 24, edition that on Monday, the Canadian government plans to introduce the on-line harms bill. The Globe's Marie Woolf writes that the bill aims to increase the accountability of websites and make them take stronger action to remove child pornography from their platforms. In addition, the legislation would require Internet service providers to report instances of child pornography. The bill also proposes to create new, unspecified offences under the Criminal Code. The government, however, is not expected to force commercial porn sites for adults to verify the age of users in order to stop children from accessing them. Instead, the government is expected to speak in more general terms about the need to protect children on-line. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP), has been calling on Ottawa to force websites to take down child-abuse images more swiftly. CCCP director Lianna McDonald was among a dozen people appointed to an expert panel asked to help the government craft legislation to tackle on-line harms. She says Ottawa needs to force tech companies to remove immediately indecent images of children as reports of victimization keep rising.
