Facebook has warned it would take away Canadians’ ability to access and share news on its platform if the bill passes without significant changes
for more than a million Canadians while Parliament has been considering the bill.
But the Heritage Minister rejected a Senate amendment that was considered a compromise to try to keep tech platforms on board. The amendment was designed to clarify that the “value” flowing both ways between news organizations and the tech giants should be a key factor in such negotiations. In a Commons debate Monday, Mr. Rodriguez accused the tech giants of using “pure intimidation tactics.” NDP heritage critic Peter Julian said the tech giants were “threatening our democracy.”
Professor Michael Geist, the University of Ottawa’s Canada Research Chair in internet law, said “everyone loses” if the bill leads to tech companies blocking news sharing on their platforms, adding that the government could accelerate the news sector’s decline. The two companies have already signed some partnership deals with news organizations in Canada, including The Globe and Mail.
