According to lawsof.com,
On Thursday last week, eight judges in South Korea's Constitutional Court unanimously struck down a law requiring the use of real names online on the grounds that it violated the constitutional right to free speech.
Would the Canadian Charter or other law produce the same effect if Parliament passed a similar statute?
Is there any remedy against a private service provider sought to enforce such a policy? I know that Facebook states that users must use their real names, bit I also know that that rule is not universally applied. (It is a bit hard to police that number of users ?)
Is there any case for such a law or policy, on balance?
