Canada's Online Streaming Regulations: Controversial Bill C-11 Passes Senate.
The Canadian government's proposed Online Streaming Act, Bill C-11, will allow the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission to filter what Canadians see on social media and YouTube. The bill, which was presented as a way to promote Canadian content, has been criticized for its potential to control what Canadians see on the internet and limit free speech. Critics argue that the government-approved CanCon is not what Canadians want to watch and that the bill is part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's broader illiberalism.
