Mr. Tako Van Popta
Mr. Speaker, that is a really good question and I am grateful to have received it. Many experts are saying that the Internet is different and that the people who wrote this legislation clearly do not understand how the Internet works. I have a further quote from Michael Geist. He says: ...regulating user-generated content in this manner is entirely unworkable, a risk to net neutrality and a threat to freedom of expression. For example, the European Union...distinguishes between streaming services such as Netflix and video-sharing services such as TikTok or YouTube, with no equivalent regulations such as those found in Bill C-10 for user-generated content. They are completely different platforms and that is not how the Internet works. This is what we are hearing from the experts.
