Hey o5, are you the church lady whose feathers got so ruffled over the "Niles wants to fuck a program mom" thread on Open free for All? Just curious.

Interesting.
In searching a bit concerning Canadian laws re internet harrassemnt/stalking, there's all kinds of good stuff just by googling something like "Canadian laws cyberstalking" , let alone getting into the actual professional legal literature.
At the TechDirt site for example:

Chilling Effects In Action: Canadian Bloggers Worried About Legal Threats Stay Quiet
from the not-worth-getting-sued dept
A few months ago, we had the story of a guy in Canada who was suing a whole bunch of sites because commenters on those sites said things he believed were defamatory. He supposedly even went after a few sites that simply linked to the defamatory material (and then there were claims that he went after sites that simply linked to sites that linked to the supposedly defamatory content). That seems a bit absurd, for obvious reasons. However, an article in Toronto's Globe & Mail notes that it may actually have been effective. Various bloggers have stopped writing about the guy out of a fear of getting sued as well. That, of course, is exactly what the suits were intended to do: to create some "chilling effects" against free speech. While the US laws clearly protect publishers and online services from content they didn't write, Canada doesn't have such protections -- and the chilling effects from that gap in the law are quite clear in this case. There's nothing wrong with using the law against those who actually are making defamatory remarks. However, suing sites that host those remarks or those who simply write about the story itself isn't protecting against defamation. It's going beyond that to intimidate anyone who might normally write about a perfectly legitimate legal issue].
Well psy, like you say, there's always Holland (well, maybe--I don't read Dutch, can't say what those laws are like).

--- Quote from: ""ottawa5"" ---In his feeble way, DJ has touched on something that I thought about when I first heard about this astonishing flight out of the United States.
What are the current laws concerning communication media, including the internet, like in Canada? Certainly, "free speech" is in some ways more restricted than in the United States, in terms of what you can say publicly about minority groups or gays for example (a quick search should verify that this is so).
So what does Canadian law say about internet communication of insutling, obscene, libellous, harassing or threatening material, anonymously or otherwise?
And what Canadian agency should be alerted to such material in order to crack down on it? Something to look into when I have the time.

Sure, go ahead and "look into it," Anne. Knock yourself out. The end result is going to be the same as it was when you "looked into it" when the site was hosted in the US: NOTHING.
Anne, you're a gasbag. You can huff and puff until you're blue in the face and it won't change a damn thing. Grow up, pull up your knickers and get on with your life. Crying like a baby about how you've been "wronged" falls on deaf ears, just like your petty empty threats.
Let me be the first one to tell you from Canada - Go fuck yourself..

So Anne, are you or are you not the 'church lady' from that thread?
Inquiring minds want to know...
