University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist says Bill C-11 signals that more government regulations are on their way from the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) and that they will infringe on freedom of speech.
“Bill C-11 was never just about ‘web giants,’ and the latest CRTC decision confirms that an extensive regulatory framework is in the works that is likely to cover podcasts, adult sites, news sites, and a host of other online video and audio services,” Mr. Geist wrote in a blog post on his website on Oct. 2.
