The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has launched public consultations over the Online News Act, which requires social media platforms to pay news organizations if news content is shared through the platform.

The Act was introduced in June 2023, and the CRTC said it is looking for feedback on the regulatory framework, released on Dec. 15, 2023.
