Another year of #internet #law McGill Faculty of Law | Faculté de droit! Let’s do this thing!

I am now at about 8 hours without a functioning The Weather Network and I am FREAKING OUT MAN. I am a serious #weather addict and I am only realizing it now. I won't go outside without knowing if I need an umbrella or sunglasses.

And the The Weather Network issues drag into day 4. Still have not gone outside 😜. And now we find out there was a "cybersecurity incident" of some sort. Two of my main interests, #weather and #privacy, have come together!!!

I will never tire of reading things like this in Federal #government agreements that I review: "The Contractor shall indemnify and save harmless His Majesty..." #LawTwitter #legalnerd

There is some quality irony that the CRTCeng website is down the day I teach McGill Faculty of Law | Faculté de droit the role of the CRTC in regulating the #internet

Today is the day #privacy #law in #Quebec changes forever! How are you celebrating? I am working like a maniac; the emails are coming in fast and furious! While you wait to reply, you can read allenmendelsohn.com/2023/09/today-…

If you've got a spare couple of hours later today (starts at 3:30), this should be a hugely important step for the future of Canadian #privacy #law

So proud to once again have written the #Canada report for #FreedomOnTheNet 2023 for Freedom on the Net and Freedom House. Score up a tiny bit, but that's before Online Streaming and News Acts effects known. I predict a drop next year freedomhouse.org/country/canada…

So the CRTCeng statement on #Canada's "Directions to the CRTC" re the #OnlineStreamingAct is kind of useless. I read the Directions; they're brief but the key is CRTC should not regulate social media creators and podcasts. We'll see. canada.ca/en/services/cu…

The key seems to be Google gets to "negotiate" with one party instead of *all* the news outlets. The whole point of the #OnlineNewsAct was those negotiations cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Attention Southern Ontario and anyone who can listen to radio on the internet! I'll be on with Kelly Cutrara on 640 Toronto and 900 CHML just after 1 PM talking #OnlineNewsAct and Google's deal with the Feds globalnews.ca/radio/640toron…

My favourite day of teaching #internet #law McGill Faculty of Law | Faculté de droit - final essay due date! 5/23 received so far, less than 6 hours to go. TYPE, PEOPLE, TYPE! Kudos to the student who submitted theirs at 2:21 AM

Can the Internet forget? I am doing a free talk on the #RighttobeForgotten Concordia University Gina Cody School of Engineering & Computer Science this Thursday that's hybrid in-person / Zoom so everyone can attend! CLE for Quebec lawyers too. eventbrite.ca/e/can-the-inte…

Ahoy Southern Ontario and anyone who can listen to radio on the internet! I'll be on with Kelly Cutrara on 640 Toronto and 900 CHML just after 1 PM previewing the #OnlineHarmsBill to be announced this afternoon globalnews.ca/radio/640toron…

Are you shi**ing me #Montreal ? Snow?? #montrealweather #spring

Let's say on average 8 Zoom / Microsoft Teams / Google Meet meetings per week, over the last 4 years. That's 1600 video meetings, and I STILL sometimes try to talk while on mute. Yeesh.

For Commissioner Miner and everyone else, I am not on strike. I stand in solidarity with my @AMPL/AMPD union brothers and sisters, but as not a full-time prof I am a member of a different union, the McGill Course Lecturers and Instructors Union

Well I am now officially a scab. It pains me. But these students McGill Faculty of Law | Faculté de droit are dying for some #internet #law knowledge!

I have not yet listened to myself maybe I should before I share this... YOLO - Quebec café’s English Instagram page runs afoul of French language laws cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

For the 9th year in a row, I am immensely proud to have written the #FreedomOnTheNet #Canada report for Freedom on the Net and Freedom House. While Canada remains "free" our score has declined, as it sadly has just about everywhere worldwide freedomhouse.org/country/canada…
