The bill is expected to be modelled on an Australian law making tech companies such as Google pay for news content on their platforms.
Rodriguez has previously said the bill is a priority, and that it will help support Canada's media industry and combat fake news circulating on the internet. The online news law will create a framework for professional media outlets to collectively negotiate compensation deals with online platforms. Rodriguez said in the last 15 years, about 450 Canadian news outlets have closed, with the vast chunk of advertising revenues going to big digital companies.
At a virtual conference in February, the minister said the bill being prepared would help preserve Canada's independent media, which he said is "in crisis."
The entire news industry is fake to begin with spreading propaganda there is nothing real about the news on tv now a days
U mean censor the internet so only the liberal bs is on there for people to see and not the actual truth about anything as liberals have no idea what truth is
They’re going to combat themselves?
They are the fake news wtf? Next theyll try to get rid of all opposing parties fucking ridiculous
More censorship nonsense
bye bye, CNN & Fox news then
You spread a lot of fake news! Finally you’ll be watched! Lol
there is no fake news. just news you don’t like or that doesn’t agree with your already established conclusions or identity
So they will choose to not carry Canadian news, leaving American news as the only source.
Gonna be pretty awkward when they find out they gonna be 'combating' themselves lol
Really? Awesome. But question though. 🤔 What will the media do... without their pay offs? Here's your money now, don't report anything u less we tell you. Let's not forget Trudeau admitted to paying the media $600 million to look the other way.
How does making compensation for media outlets on social media easier, in any way combat fake news?
“ who will watch the watchers “
So who decides what's real and what's fake..I guess they think we're to dumb to make up our own minds..
No need for this now. Elon Musk and twitter will fact check your news for you. He will save a lot of work for the law makers in Ottawa. He is making significant improvements.
Uh oh. The country I grew up in is become unrecognizable
Try truth first.
Does that mean they will refund the cbc?
Fake news like Truckers tried to set apartment building unfired Truckers had loaded guns in their vehicles Trudeau was in Ottawa when he was in BC Protester threw a bike at the horses That kind of fake news
Good. U cant afford to be USA and Russia now
But the news industry IS fake news. 🤦🏻♂️🤡
Pravda.
Soon welcome to Canada.
Can they start with CBC? DefundCBC
Is this bill c-11 can anyone confirm
Wow this post and video are so wild. First what bill is this ? No mention of it …if it’s bill c-11 CP-24 is doing a great job of hiding it. Secondly bill and video in the article are wildly so far apart no wonder people say fake news
Both necessary and concerning, bcs that's where we are now.🤷♂️
The government shouldn’t not be doing this
Does this mean that the liberals are investigating themselves.
So all the media in Canada will be shut down.
Goodbye CBC
There doesn’t need to be a law for this. There needs to be complete shake-ups at all of the msm’s and real journalists hired again. News needs to be objective again.
Great so when's your last news cast?
It's about time. Sick of these ultra right wing news outlets poisoning the waters with outright lies. NeverVoteConservative
Let’s call it the “only favourable to the indoctrinated liberal shall be permitted” law. The “don’t notice patterns and don’t ask questions” law. Or maybe the “oh shit, they’re on to us” law.
They are using fake news to create an issue that doesn’t exist in order to regulate it.
Step towards Dictatorship ***Here is another way the government wants to MANIPULATE media*** People are not dumb they can differentiate Fake news.
Censorship law
So we only get the news they allow us it watch? No conspiracy here.
What your saying is..” No room for opinion, science, free thought, debate, truth, freedom. About am it up? Can’t be allowed to happen. If it does…..ALL politicians are dictators and can’t be trusted.
The fake news comes from mainstream media. Censorship is wrong
Urgently needed, especially now that Elon is on the Twitter board. pablorodriguez Hope the legislation passes quickly. We also need more regulations + heftier fines in concert w/ the EU to make platforms + their execs lose billions for allowing rampant disinformation to spread.
Good
Nice! The National Post and Sun papers must be crapping themselves.
Actually it’s the news media that pushes the fake news
We live in the most unironic times
Wow a literal Ministry of Truth from George Orwell's 1984. 'Fact checkers' are government propagandists.
RIP CBC....
So, just who gets to decide what's fake news? Sounds like censorship.
This is great because I can barely get my socks on without the government holding my hand.
What would these bigoted right wingers publish if they couldn't work on dividing our nation with their fake news?
It is call CENSORSHIP. They trying to dress it up niecely but intelligent ppl know that it is about limiting your freedoms. Why suddenly gov doesn’t trust me to choose my source of information?
Does that include “fake news” from our own government?
Help them? What they are the ones releasing fake news so they can get more views and make more money
Great! Censorship and removal of freedom of speech is never a slippery slope 🫣
How does JohnTory sleep at night knowing the new subway line build is supporting Putin’s Genocide.? fordnation is just as guilty. CTVToronto
The entire Post Media org must be shaking.
Comical
MSM is reporting fake news that’s the problem
Headline should read 'Law to implement on-line censorship to be tabled today.'. You are welcome for the correction.
It’s always funny to look at the profile pics of the people who support censorship…
Correct title - Law to help Liberal bootlicking news companies, combat opposition media One of the core principles of journalism is to hold people in power accountable. If they fail to do that they have abandoned the very purpose of what they do.
So does the Liberal government get to choose what you see and hear? They can classify whatever they want as fake news and legally shut them down. In others words, opinions are muted. Charter of Rights infringed.
what're the 'independent thinkers' gonna do without RebelNewsOnline 😩
Fake news by who's standard . Just keep chipping away at our rights and freedoms . All the little sheep just keep toeing the line
Good by rebel and fox and global and the sun the list just keeps growing 😼
I doubt a law will help you to stop lying.
Yeah … because …
North Korea bill
Is this really a priority?
hahahaha - reported by CP24, the Canadian leader in un-fact-checked news reporting.
