- notjulianjaynes 3y agoI am not aware of Meta or Google being specifically named in the law, could you please provide a source for this? This page does not make that reference at least: https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/online-news.html https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/online-n...
- elrnv 3y agoThe bill text is here: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-18/royal-assent https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-18/royal-a... The relevant piece from the summary is: > (d) requires the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (the “Commission”) to maintain a list of digital news intermediaries in respect of which the enactment applies; CRTC is a government entity so the government reserves the power to decide who is on the list. I couldn't find the list online though.
