DP Studio landing pads / Project Liberty Alliance
Invitation to weigh in
Toronto Metropolitan University The Dais
We opened a landing pad for Dais from public work, not a mission paraphrase.
Toronto Metropolitan University The Dais publishes citable work we could quote (The Digital Safety Act Is Here. Canada Must Get This Done. - The Dais). This briefing is a hypothesis built from those sources. Tell us if we misread the research, add papers we missed, and weigh in on Desirable Properties tied to that work.
If you represent Dais, confirm the source URLs, then open the Desirable Properties tab and leave a patch idea where the property text misses what your public work already argues.
Research and policy only change the rule-set when it is linked to original sources. Help us keep this pad tied to your papers and reports, not a press-release summary.
Public packet only. Hypothesis marks stay until you confirm sources. Each Alliance member gets a different pitch so we can experiment. Your pad is https://desirableproperties.org/pad/dais (hyphens optional). Direct link to this tab: https://desirableproperties.org/pad/dais?tab=values

Values to Overweb mappings
Confirm only mappings that match how you use these words. Rejected mappings stay off the next brief.
The research on safety is clear: the internet and social media platforms, built to bring people together and create new spaces for participation, have become environments where Canadians experience real harms on a daily basis, from deepfakes and cyber scams to violent content and systemic child exploitation.
Overweb: Transparency of AI and human roles in inquiry
Candidate MPA: Show when Hermes drafted vs when humans confirmed
The government’s bill would establish a long-overdue legal framework to protect people online and hold platforms accountable.
Overweb: Portable human agency (user-controlled identity and data)
Candidate MPA: Export identity and data the person created here, without a platform petition
Our advice for parliamentarians and the public alike: let’s thoughtfully, but quickly, get this bill passed into law.
