Canadian Court Upholds Jordan Peterson's Social Media Training Order, Sparks Debate on Free Expression

An Ontario court has upheld an order for Canadian psychologist and author Dr. Jordan Peterson to undergo "social media training" over controversial posts he made on platforms like Twitter. The College of Psychologists of Ontario had claimed that some of Peterson's posts could be viewed as professional misconduct and requested that he take a social media training course. Peterson filed a legal complaint against the college, arguing that they do not have control over his political commentary. However, the court dismissed his complaint, stating that the college's order falls under its responsibility to protect the profession of psychology in the public arena. Peterson has vowed to comply with the training but will make the process public, asserting that he believes he has done nothing wrong.

Jordan Peterson's Appeal Denied in Controversial Tweet Case by Ontario College of Psychologists

Dr. Jordan Peterson has lost his appeal against the College of Psychologists of Ontario's directive to undergo social media training following complaints about his controversial tweets.

The Canadian Constitution Foundation, which defended Peterson, expressed disappointment and argued that professionals should not have to censor their speech for fear of regulatory bodies penalizing unpopular opinions. Peterson has been ordered to pay the college's legal costs and expressed his intention to retain his license while standing by his statements.

A Canadian court has upheld the sanctioning of psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, which has targeted him for criticizing transgender ideology, climate alarmism, and the Canadian government. The court ordered Peterson to pay a fine of $25,000 and undergo a social media education program. The organization is punishing Peterson for his public comments, including on social media and during podcast appearances, rather than any interactions with patients. Peterson has vowed to make every aspect of the case public and criticized the court's decision, asserting that free speech rights in Canada are delusional.

Peterson called the move "anti-human" and "anti-industrial," while Musk said it was a "national security risk."
