Senators face lobby pressure to amend Online Streaming Act and bring in ‘more guardrails’ amid user-content, discoverability concerns, by samanthawrights cdnpoli Before the summer break, the House already accepted more than 150 amendments (unlocked)
more than 150 amendments. That flurry of changes happened in the waning days before summer break, but the Senate resisted pressure to rush through to royal assent. Dennis characterized those amendments as further strengthening the protections on free speech.
“We believe that this would actually backfire for the very creators that it attempts to support,” she said, warning “overpromoting content” based on their location rather than their listening interests “leads to audiences tuning out, and those signals train our systems to demote that content for global users.”
De Eyre urged the Senators to “take a sober second look” to consider its impact on digital-first creators and said the bill needs “more guardrails.” In a later hearing that day, those arguments were dismissed as platform lobbying techniques by the Association des professionnels de l’édition musicale, which represents francophone music publishers in Canada.
“You can choose those means. So why are you afraid? Do you have means, other than algorithms, to promote Canadian content?” The next day, she told the Chamber the debate on whether the CRTC, under the current bill, can impact algorithms “is so polarized that it is difficult to come to a conclusion.” “Ultimately, if a distributor fails to act in good faith, what would be the remedy? As it stands now, the CRTC still could not set terms for the distribution of APTN and this gap must be filled,”Brad Danks, CEO of OUTtv, said the algorithm discussion has taken up far too much time, but the CRTC could offer key support to ensure Canadian producers get fair treatment.
