Canadian digital policies have consequences: potential blocked services due to Bill C-11, blocked news links due to Bill C-18, and perhaps blocked AI services also due to Bill C-18. Canada fast becoming a digital outlier. xitter.cf/AnjaKaradeglija/status…
Canada is now one of only a few countries in the world — alongside Russia and China — not to have access to Google’s artificial-intelligence-based chatbot Bard, as Google’s stand-off with the Liberal government over regulation continues nationalpost.com/news/politi… via @nationalpost

Given that the government has no Plan B, this was predictable. But to be clear, the law hasn’t taken effect yet nor has widespread blocking. This is about refusal to *negotiate* with @pablorodriguez about a law that has already received royal assent.
We have decided to take the necessary step of suspending all Government of Canada advertising to Facebook. We cannot continue paying advertising dollars to Meta while they refuse to pay their fair share to Canadian news organizations.

I don't think Alberta realizes how much the telecom world is about to change here today after the Shaw-Rogers merger.

And there you have it. Federal government sides with Big Telecom instead of Canadians but tries to gaslight us into believing the opposite.

BREAKING: @Bell to acquire @Distributel, one of the largest members of @cnoconline, subject to @CompBureau approval (unlocked 🔓): bit.ly/3B7nBYi
I find it persistently amazing how, on the one hand, the CRTC advocates for a ‘facilities based competition’ policy and, on the other, it cheerfully approves the consolidation of the facilitates-based telecom providers and thus further concentrates market power. 😮‍💨

High speed Internet access in Canadian rural, remote and Indigenous communities remains an enormous problem. This week’s @lawbytespod podcast features Karen Barnes and Catherine Middleton (@catmiddleton) on the recent @cca_reports on the issue. michaelgeist.ca/2021/11/law-…

More than 40 news outlets and press freedom organizations have signed a letter 👇🏾 calling for Canada’s public safety minister to take immediate steps to investigate and correct the RCMP’s actions and ensure journalists’ right to report will be better protected.
