I believe that the CRTC has rules against censorship - meaning that Videotron, Bell etcetera have a choice between following the CRTC code or the provincial law (following one = sanctions from the other), rendering internet service provision to Québec impossible without being a dialup provider from out-of-province. The law may even be actually contrary to federal law. On September 12, 2016 10:41:16 AM PDT, Jean-Francois Mezei <jfmezei_nanog@vaxination.ca> wrote:
As many may know, the province of Québec has passed a law to protect the interests of its lottery corporation.
To do so, it will provide ISPs with list of web sites to block (aka: only allow its own gambing web site).
There is an opportunity to comment this week in which I will submit.
(I've gathered many arguments over the past little while already). But have a specific question today:
Are there examples of an ISP getting sued because it redirected traffic that should have gone to original site ?
For instance, user asks for www.google.com and ISP's DNS responds with an IP that points to a bing server?
If the risk of a lawsuit is real, then it brings new dimension to arguments already made agains that (stupiod) Québec law.
(And it also creates interesting issues for DNS servers from companies such as Google which may have a anycast server located in Québec but are not considered an ISP and won't receive those documenst from the gov with list of websites to block.
