That said, I think we have seen very clear examples of Twitter, particularly, banning people for some of the things they have put on it. Facebook will send people to \u201cjail\u201d if they put things on there that they believe offend community standards, and of course the CRTC has done that sort of thing at the two stations I mentioned.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7141502\" data-originallang=\"en\">That kind of regime has always been in place, but community standards tend to rule. We can get away with things now on conventional radio that we could not dream of doing when I was still on the air, and certainly not when I was a kid. Things change. Community standards change. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, in her article, said that we should regulate the platform but let the platform deal with the content. That is probably the best way to go forward.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7141500\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de sa question et \u00e9galement de ses commentaires concernant ma prestation ici.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7141501\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons absolument nous en inqui\u00e9ter. Cela dit, nous avons eu des exemples patents, celui de Twitter en particulier, qui bannit des gens pour certaines des choses qu\u2019ils y ont publi\u00e9es. Facebook envoie les gens en \u00ab prison \u00bb s\u2019ils publient des contenus qui, selon ses crit\u00e8res, transgressent les normes sociales, et, bien entendu, le CRTC est intervenu plus ou moins en ce sens dans les deux stations dont j\u2019ai parl\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7141502\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce genre de r\u00e9gime a toujours exist\u00e9, mais les normes sociales tendent \u00e0 dominer. Aujourd\u2019hui, nous pouvons nous permettre de faire certaines choses \u00e0 la radio conventionnelle que personne n\u2019aurait imagin\u00e9 faire \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque o\u00f9 j\u2019\u00e9tais encore \u00e0 l\u2019antenne et qui auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 totalement impensables lorsque j\u2019\u00e9tais enfant. Le monde change. Les normes sociales changent. Dans son article, la juge en chef Beverley McLachlin a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que nous devrions r\u00e9glementer la plateforme, mais la laisser s\u2019occuper du contenu. C\u2019est probablement la meilleure voie \u00e0 suivre.</p>"
