Canadian Government Says It Wants to Charge Meta for News Screenshots

The Canadian government is considering doubling down on the disaster that was the Online News Act. Says it might charge Meta for screenshots of news.

Everything about the Online News Act has been a predictable disaster.

One of the manifestations of this belief was the WIPO Copyright Treaty, signed in 1996, which extended copyright in important ways. A key element was the prohibition of any […]

Is the Online Harms Bill Getting Decent Reviews or is Michael Geist Jumping the Gun?
