Hey Everyone in the world

Coming to you from Canada.

As I understand it Accountability Journalism Institute has done a great job in describing the recent online networks of disinformation and the history of the spread of not only false stories but also the spread of strategies and techniques to spread lies more widely.

Arguably there is more disinformation than you or I can ever know. How can wack-a-mole ever give us clean online sources? That being said my strategy is not to describe particular false or ill intentioned stories. My strategy is to look for a way to make it hard and expensive, instead of profitable, to lie online in the first place.

So what do you think of this? I think the way to make it hard and expensive to lie online is to create a Online Public Library where a natural person may add their content to the Online Public Library only if they give their true identity and only if they agree to follow all the laws, rules and regulations that apply to the publication of print media. Not only that, such a person would be automatically payed 30 days later each time a patron chose to use the content. As well if a patron deemed the content they accessed to be inappropriate and unworthy, patrons would have a manual option to block any payment their use automatically trigged. This is a payment system where the State bankrolls the service but each payment for use is democratically determined by a patron.

In the case where a firm wished to contribute content to the Library they would need an identified natural person to take responsibility and suffer the consequences for breaching the rules, laws and regulations that apply to publishing print media.

I’m happy to answer any questions. I have much more to say about how such a service would work. You can read more and quote me from my website:

I would like to know what you think of the idea that *the online media content access industry* should be and could be a public service?

Most Canadians have opinions on our policies to have public health care, public roads, and public education.

I do not care at all about being paid or having credit for any new ideas. I care about sharing what I think is a good idea.

I reach out constantly regarding the idea. I have pitched the idea to every Canadian MP, and to hundreds of journalists and academics.

I ask, why would you agree or disagree with the idea that the online media content access industry should be and could be a public service?

No reporter will report in the news that the idea exists.
No professional academic will acknowledge that the idea exists.
No democratically elected official will say if they agree or disagree with the idea.

Have you ever been in a room full of people and they are all talking and listening to each other but no one is talking with you?

I feel like I have described the idea quite fully on my own website [ www.no-ads.ca ] which is available to anyone who has access to the World Wide Web.

*the online media content access industry — is the industry that gives patrons access to online content. It only provides access. It does not produce the majority of the content. In the current state of the internet this industry is dominated by a few very large firms including; Google, YouTube, Meta, Facebook, Instagram, TicToc, Twitter (now X), Telegram, Spotify, Netflix, Apple, MicroSoft, Substack and Amazon.

Thank You

Here is a quick question for you that might require time to answer fully if you like.

Why have you not yet encouraged someone else to add their name to The Petition for a Canadian National Online Public Library? 

Recently some influential foreigners have been loudly joking and talking about taking away Canada’s independence. 

An Online Public Library is a public online media content access service.

 
Nowhere in the world does this kind of service exist yet. Canada can show the world there is a better way to use the internet other than depending on huge powerful private firms to provide access to online media content. 
No need to name them, these firms have polluted the media environment with third party advertising, hate, lies, and have put up paywalls blocking the poor from access to the best online media content. Disturbingly these firms have become the vehicle for billionaires to drive politics. 
It is not working well for democracy to have billionaires owning and controlling the systems that give the electorate access to existing information. 
It is not working well for some Canadians who want access to the best news, information and entertainment to be depending on a foreign billionaires who choose to dictate what stories are elevated or muted in our online media feeds. 
It is not working well for climate action activists to have to face a paid for tsunami of greenwashing propaganda. 
To be independent as a Country we need to have our own independent online National content access service. To have a strong democracy we need our own independent National Online Content Access Service and this service needs to be democratic.
Please help in 2025 to make this a key issue. 

Grateful for volunteer outreach telling someone else about this idea.
