Canada passes bill regulating online streaming services.

Canada has passed the Online Streaming Act, which means that streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ will now be regulated by similar laws to those overseeing the country’s networks. The streaming services are now required to contribute to the creation and availability of Canadian stories and music and pay their fair share in supporting Canadian artists. If they fail to comply, the Canadian regulator can impose fines and other penalties. The new law has created passionate supporters and detractors since Justin Trudeau’s government first introduced the plan.
