Rob Greenlee calls Canada's plan to charge social media platforms for news content "sketchy," arguing the government may be trying to control information flow and limit public discussion rather than fairly compensate publishers.
That's got you grooving now, right? Well, I think from a trust factor perspective, I think it's— it could be seen as a little bit of a sketchy move on the part of the Canadian government. It does make you wonder what the motivation of doing this is, um, you know, because I do know that they were going to start charging the social platforms for access to news, which is probably a companion to this project either, but it does appear to be an effort to undermine the economics around the social media platforms around being able to get access to information and also financial support. So they're basically going after them from two two perspectives. And, and it does kind of point, well, what's, what's, what's the bigger agenda here? What's the reason that they're doing this? Is it because they don't— maybe they don't want the information to flow through those channels to get to the Canadian people, uh, and they want to be able to control those channels? Um, and so that there may be less kind of discussion or controversy or other shared opinions on things that don't go through those social channels. So anyway, I just, it's a little concerning to me to think about.
