Could this Lemmy be shut down by bill C18?
(lemmy.ca)
Nah, if you look at the text of the bill, it's written to only affect big players: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-18/royal-assent
This is the relevant text in my mind:
6 This Act applies in respect of a digital news intermediary if, having regard to the following factors, there is a significant bargaining power imbalance between its operator and news businesses:
(a) the size of the intermediary or the operator;
(b) whether the market for the intermediary gives the operator a strategic advantage over news businesses; and
(c ) whether the intermediary occupies a prominent market position.
Oooh nice! Thanks for digging that up!
