The 12-member group is to hold a series of workshops to work out what constitutes “harmful content” online, who should be subject to rules meant to fight it, and which authorities should oversee those attempts. It’s to conclude its meetings within about two months, Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez said in an afternoon news conference. (The Logic)

Talking point: After campaigning last summer on a promise to produce legislation quickly to fight online harms such as hate and illegal pornography, despite international condemnation of their proposal as censorious and unworkable, the Liberals decided to bail out and start again. (“We listened,” Rodriguez said.) Co-chaired by law professors Pierre Trudel and Emily Laidlaw, the new and academic-heavy panel has experts on terrorism and the psychology of extremism, child protection, cyberlaw and free expression. It also includes Bernie Farber of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, who was formerly the head of the Canadian Jewish Congress. He spread bogus information online about an allegedly antisemitic flyer at the Ottawa convoy protests.
