Digital-first creators accuse government of dismissing their concerns that legislation would regulate user-generated content
Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has rejected a number of Senate amendments to the government’s online streaming bill, putting himself on a potential collision course with the Red Chamber.
An amendment tabled by two senators, Paula Simons and Julie Miville-Dechêne, clarified that the bill would not cover user-generated content, though it would allow for the regulation of professionally produced music videos. On Wednesday, the House of Commons will debate C-11 and the government’s decision to reject a number of Senate amendments, before sending it back to the Senate.
The Minister also rejected an amendment that would have required tech platforms to demand age verification to stop children under the age of 18 from accessing sexually explicit material. The government argues the amendment did not belong in this particular bill, which is about regulating online streaming platforms.
