Here is part of an email I received:
I omitted some inserts that are not useful.
"I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss this important update on Bill C-11. Last Thursday, Senators officially voted to pass Bill C-11, The Online Streaming Act. Senators made a CRUCIAL amendment fix thanks to hearing from YOU – but they also got a few key parts wrong.1 Here’s a breakdown of where we’re at with Bill C-11
Good news: An amendment proposed by Senator Simons and Miville-Deschêne to Section 4.1 removes most of the content posted by ordinary users on platforms from being regulated by the CRTC as ‘broadcasting’ – BIG WIN!
Bad News: No amendments were made to limit what the CRTC can do around making content ‘discoverable’ – meaning that the CRTC could still manipulate your search results, feeds, and recommendations and fill them with government-approved “Canadian content” of their choice.
Even more bad news: The Senate snuck in a sneaky age verification requirement on platforms, AKA opening the possibility of forcing you to upload your private government ID to access ALL KINDS of websites. No consultation with witnesses or experts, no public review, and no debate to assess the risks of this amendment.
Bill C-11 will now go back to the House of Commons where MPs will vote to reject or approve the Senate's amendments as early as THIS WEEK. Unless people like yourself speak up, there’s a chance Bill C-11 will pass more broken than ever. You’ve already gotten the ball rolling by emailing your MP (Thank you!), but we need your help spreading the word on this campaign, will you share this campaign with your friends and family? "
