In Canada, our highly dynamic and intensely competitive communications market is subject to extensive regulation, a fact driven home every day for Bell and our facilities-based competitors across all facets of our operations. In contrast, global giants Google and Facebook – despite being dominant market leaders in Canada’s digital ad space – are almost entirely unregulated.
What is surprising is that, based on a recent blog post, Google appears to be following a similar playbook it has already used unsuccessfully in Australia in response to legislative measures aimed at supporting domestic news organizations. By setting the stage for a regulatory framework that requires massive digital intermediaries to pay Canadian news organizations for content they use on their platforms to generate billions in revenue, Bill C-18 levels a playing field in a way that will help ensure the survival of Canadian news.
In no way does Bill C-18 compromise or weaken journalistic ethics or probity. Eligible news organizations will for the first time be able to reach negotiated agreements with Google and Facebook so that these digital giants pay for news that appears on their platforms, content that helps them generate massive revenue at zero cost to themselves. The only impact that Bill C-18 will have is to ensure that Canadian news providers continue being able to provide the news.
Read the bill. It’s misleads NOTHING
