Dear John, 

There have been a lot of questions around the new Online Harms Bill. In fact, it has been one of our most asked about topics since the legislation was tabled by the federal government.

That’s why we sought the most knowledgeable experts about the bill and what it aims to do (and not do).

You are invited to join us on April 17 at 1 PM ET via Zoom for a special briefing from Dr. Michael Geist and Dr. Emily Laidlaw as they take us through how they see the bill, its intentions, and the pros and cons of how it will help fight online hate.
