I don't use either service, but I find this insane. If a third world country controlled what media it's citizens could see, people would be up in arms (figuratively, sadly).

Somehow commonwealth countries trample rights all over the place, and we all just pretend it isn't happening.

Btw this is because Canada's government is in the pocket of it's media oligopoly. The crtc exists to prevent competition for incumbents. Canada's basically a banana republic, I guess it always was.

Edit: there are lots of examples of people criticizing twitter for caving to Turkey's request to block them. Somehow people ignore it when it happens in countries that pretend to be "free".
