Critics say proposed changes still do not address freedom-of-expression concerns around user-generated content on social media

Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault has said these amendments make it “crystal-clear” that the new law will not regulate personal social media posts.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said his party supports the main premise of the legislation, which is that companies such as Netflix should be providing financial support to Canadian content in the same way as traditional broadcasters. However, the Liberals have “totally mismanaged” the rollout of the bill, he said.

Bloc Québécois MP Martin Champoux, who sits on the committee reviewing the bill, said the new amendments are generally “quite reassuring.” Ms. Yale said the concerns around freedom of expression have been “very overblown,” and that Bill C-10 is necessary for the culture sector. “This is not about restrictions,” she said. “It’s about the promotion of Canadian content and making sure there are Canadian choices.”

YouTube recommends videos based on what people watch, the computer doesn’t recommend people Watch Hobo Doggy, because absolutely nobody wants to watch Canadian content Hobo Doggy, put it on CBC the Lemmings can watch it there.

The first thing all good little DICKtators do is control the media, so they can control the content

Do not forget to report on the CharterBreaches by removing section 4.1

🖕🖕🖕

globepolitics I really have zero desire to see Canadian content recommended on youtube or other platforms. The internet should be above geographic borders.

This is the last thing the Canadian government needs to address at this time.

Why don’t Canadians just create content worth clicking?
