SecTor 2023 - Keynote: The New Canadian Internet - Dr. Michael Geist
Canada's digital policies have undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years. From Internet streaming legislation that touched on user generated content to online news regulations that have sparked blocked news links on Facebook and Instagram, the emerging environment is transforming the Internet experience for all Canadians. And with new AI, privacy, and online safety legislation waiting in the wings, the need for an informed and engaged policy process that provides necessary safeguards and preserves freedom of expression have never been greater.
Dr. Michael Geist, one of Canada's leading technology law authorities, will provide a roadmap of recent developments, discuss what lies ahead, unpack the implications for individuals and businesses, and identify how concerned Canadians can ensure their voice and perspective are heard.
