Details about Ottawa\u0027s takedown requests to social media companies were recently revealed
for the article to be corrected or retracted. It’s not a stretch to guess that this was paired with a series of requests to the social media giants to remove the embarrassing article.Article content
The rest of the takedown requests were less exciting, thankfully. The most common reason for government staff making takedown requests was impersonation — they wanted social media companies to remove fake accounts purporting to be official, which is perfectly reasonable. Twitter also denied a Competition Bureau request to remove an offensive reply to a tweet about Fraud Prevention Month in 2020, as well as a Business Development Bank of Canada request to remove an offensive comment about an employee.
The Canada Border Services Agency made around 25 requests, mostly for hate speech, harassment or bullying on Instagram . The Public Health Agency of Canada , made 20 requests, mostly for “offensive language.” Most of them were denied. The high number of unreasonable requests on the part of PHAC and the CBSA suggest they are more on the censorious side.Article content
