TikTok and Instagram influencers top list of trusted news sources for today's youth: report

This wasn’t an easy decision, but it had to be made in the face of an unworkable bill that hasn’t taken the tech companies’ suggestions into consideration. Canada is only hurting itself because now it won’t receive any money from the big tech firms, and the country’s major media associations and outlets will lose the traffic Google and Meta generate. The government should negotiate a better deal with these companies.
It’s obscene that these big tech firms would rather spend money to rework their platforms to exclude Canadian sources rather than pay a small portion of their billions to compensate those who are creating the content. This is nothing more than bullying; the Canadian government shouldn’t capitulate, and Canadian news consumers should do their part by going directly to the sources of the content.
