Canadian court rules Jordan Peterson has to undergo social media sensitivity training

Clinical psychologist and media personality Jordan Peterson must undergo "social media sensitivity training," a Canadian court ruled earlier this week. 

The training was mandated by College of Psychologists of Ontario in 2022 after complaints were made regarding Peterson's use of social media, which was viewed as misconduct by the group, according to ABC 3344. 

Peterson argued that he was allowed to post whatever he wanted on social media and filed a judicial review. 

Three Divisional Court judges ruled that the organization was allowed to make the demand of Peterson. 

"The order is not disciplinary and does not prevent Dr. Peterson from expressing himself on controversial topics; it has a minimal impact on his right to freedom of expression," Justice Paul Schabas writes.

Peterson criticized the decision on X, the platform previously called Twitter.

“So the Ontario Court of Appral ruled that @CPOntariocan [College of Psychologists of Ontario] pursue their prosecution,” he wrote. “If you think that you have a right to free speech in Canada ... You're delusional ... I will make every aspect of this public ... And we will see what happens when utter transparency is the rule ... Bring it on.”
