The Department of Canadian Heritage is seeking a larger budget for its Digital Citizens Initiative (DCI), saying millions more are needed to surveil internet users who promote “disinformation” and misinformation.
“The scale and scope of the problem being addressed by the DCI is expanding along with potential for associated harms,” said the department report “Evaluation Of The Digital Citizen Initiative 2018-19 to 2020-21,” which was first covered by Blacklock’s Reporter.
