“Stakeholders and parliamentarians have expressed concerns with social media exclusions in the Bill and have made proposals to ensure their regulation, at least in part,” government documents obtained through Access to Information outline.
“These exclusions were added to the Bill to ensure that broadcasting regulation did not infringe on freedom of expression and to ensure it would not unduly affect creators ,” the documents state.Bill C-11's forced promotion of CanCon on online platforms 'very risky,' MPs hear “Notably, the CDEC and its members have proposed that all exclusions be removed and that the CRTC be enabled to determine what should or should not be regulated on social media,” the document says.
“Finally they argue that as social media evolves and other platforms evolve, some novel activities and services could be excluded from regulation by default which could lead to future gaps in broadcasting regulation.” When the Liberal government introduced C-11, Rodriguez said the government had “listened” and “fixed” the bill by putting the exclusion back in the new version. Spokesperson Laura Scaffidi said the new version bill “addresses the concerns about social media that were raised by Canadians during the debate on Bill C-10.”
The government maintains that the bill is only meant to target a narrow range of content — such as professional music on YouTube — and the CRTC’s regulatory powers would be limited, for instance, to the power to force platforms to ensure their algorithms promote Canadian content.
