WEBCAST JUN 20 – Cross-Border Digital Impact: Analyzing the Effects of Canada’s Online News Act on Internet Fragmentation
On Thursday June 20 2024, at 18:00 UTC, the Internet Society presents a webinar ‘Cross-Border Digital Impact: Analyzing the Effects of Canada’s Online News Act on Internet Fragmentation‘. This session will explore the potential for internet fragmentation triggered by Canada’s Online News Act*—impacting not only how individuals and businesses interact online but also how similar challenges and legislation are faced by other countries, like Brazil and the US.
*Bill C18, the Online News Act, aims to financially bolster Canadian news media by mandating major digital platforms to compensate for the use of their content. This act also positions the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) as the central authority for compliance, potentially centralizing internet functions and impacting the free contribution to the digital economy along with safety and security online.
