It's actually a bit concerning that I am unable to find any details on the proposed Online News Act. Will HN or Wikipedia be designated as digital platforms? Are digital platforms allowed to link to non-Canadian news sources? What are the enforcement mechanisms for web sites with no Canadian operations?
I wonder if the lack of detail is intentional.
- peanuty1 4y agoPresumably Reddit will be subject to the same regulation as Meta and Google.
- wolpoli 4y agoI think so, since Reddit was included in the stakeholder engagement process, along with Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Apple News Canada, Twitter, and Verizon Media (Yahoo) [1] [1]: https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/fair-revenue-sharing/stakeholder-engagement.html#a5 https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/fair-re...
- bentcorner 4y agoI suppose there's a possible future where it will be impossible to find news about the Online News Act.
