The omission has prompted critics, such as the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, to call the cyberbullying law a Trojan Horse for a controversial previous law, since withdrawn by the government, which would have expanded police powers to gain lawful access to electronic communications.
Cette omission a suscité des critiques, notamment de la part de l'Association des libertés civiles de la Colombie-Britannique, qui a qualifié la loi sur la cyberintimidation de cheval de Troie englobant une ancienne mesure législative controversée, que le gouvernement a depuis retirée.
