Bisakah RUU C-10 mengatur algoritma media sosial Anda? Menteri yang bertanggung jawab tidak akan mengatakan - Could Bill C-10 regulate your social media algorithm? Minister responsible won’t say

Menteri Warisan Kanada Steven Guilbeault tidak akan mengatakan apakah Bill C-10 akan memberi CRTC kekuatan untuk mengatur algoritme yang memutuskan apa yang Anda lihat di Facebook, Instagram, dan YouTube Anda.

Masalah muncul ketika dia duduk di kursi panas di komite warisan Kanada pada hari Jumat, di mana anggota parlemen menekannya pada sejumlah masalah yang berkaitan dengan RUU C-10, yang bertujuan untuk memodernisasi Undang-Undang Penyiaran.

“Saya hanya ingin tahu apakah CRTC akan memiliki kekuatan untuk mengatur algoritma,” tanya anggota parlemen Konservatif Rachael Harder selama pertemuan.

Guilbeault tidak akan memberikan jawaban yang pasti.

“Konsep keterungkapan adalah memastikan bahwa sebagai bagian dari platform ini, konten Kanada menjadi lebih terlihat…untuk orang Kanada atau, sebenarnya, untuk ditonton atau dilihat oleh setiap penonton.  Tidak akan ada persyaratan, jelas, untuk pengguna, ”katanya.

Ketika Harder menyarankan bahwa ini terdengar seperti ya, Guilbeault menjawab bahwa jawabannya adalah "bukan ya."  Dia tidak, bagaimanapun, memperluas lebih jauh - membiarkannya di udara apakah RUU itu akan memberdayakan CRTC untuk mengatur algoritma media sosial.

Secara umum, RUU tersebut bertujuan untuk memodernisasi Undang-Undang Penyiaran – yang mengalami reformasi besar terakhir pada tahun 1991 sebelum internet tersedia secara luas – untuk mencerminkan fakta bahwa orang Kanada mengonsumsi hal-hal seperti musik dan film secara berbeda saat ini, sering kali menggunakan layanan streaming atau media sosial.  Ia berharap untuk memperluas persyaratan konten Kanada ke platform online ini, memastikan perusahaan membayar dana budaya dan menampilkan sejumlah konten Kanada.

RUU C-10 menjadi sumber perselisihan parlementer setelah Liberal menghapus bagian dari RUU yang melindungi konten yang dibuat pengguna dan membebaskannya dari peraturan, yang berarti posting Facebook dan Instagram Anda tidak akan tunduk pada aturan CRTC.

Bagian 4.1 dari undang-undang yang diusulkan awalnya mengecualikan semua platform media sosial dari peraturan CRTC, terlepas dari kenyataan bahwa mereka bertanggung jawab atas sebagian besar kebiasaan konsumsi Kanada saat ini.

Itulah pemikiran di balik keputusan kaum Liberal untuk menghapus bagian dari undang-undang — tetapi langkah itu juga membuka pintu bagi regulasi CRTC atas konten yang dibuat pengguna, seperti video YouTube Anda.

Dan sementara itu tergantung pada CRTC untuk merancang persis seperti apa peraturan itu, para ahli telah memperingatkan ini dapat memungkinkan CRTC untuk mengatur apa pun yang mereka inginkan di media sosial.

“Efek dari penghapusan adalah mengambil posisi bahwa semua konten buatan pengguna, semua video TikTok, unggahan Instagram, video YouTube dan sejenisnya … semua konten itu tunduk pada peraturan CRTC,” jelas Michael Geist, yang memegang Canada Research  Ketua Hukum Internet dan E-commerce di Universitas Ottawa, dalam sebuah wawancara dengan Global News tak lama setelah bagian 4.1 dihapus.


Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault won’t say whether Bill C-10 will give the CRTC the power to regulate the algorithms that decide what you see on your Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

The issue came up when he sat in the hot seat at the Canadian heritage committee on Friday, where MPs pressed him on a number of issues related to Bill C-10, which aims to modernize the Broadcasting Act.

“I just was wondering if the CRTC will have the power to regulate algorithms,” asked Conservative MP Rachael Harder during the meeting.

Guilbeault would not provide a definitive answer.

“The concept of discoverability is ensuring that as part of these platforms, Canadian content becomes more visible…for Canadians or, actually, any audience to watch or see. There won’t be any requirement, obviously, for users,” he said.

When Harder suggested that this sounded like a yes, Guilbeault replied that his answer was “not a yes.” He did not, however, expand further — leaving it up in the air whether the bill would empower the CRTC to regulate social media algorithms.

Broadly, the bill aims to modernize the Broadcasting Act — which saw its last major reform in 1991 before the internet was widely available — to reflect the fact that Canadians consume things like music and movies differently nowadays, often using streaming services or social media. It hopes to extend Canadian content requirements to these online platforms, ensuring the companies pay into cultural funds and display a certain amount of Canadian content.

Bill C-10 became a source of parliamentary discord after the Liberals removed a section of the bill that protected user-generated content and exempted it from regulation, meaning your Facebook and Instagram posts wouldn’t have been subject to CRTC rules.

Section 4.1 of that proposed legislation originally exempted all social media platforms from CRTC regulation, despite the fact that they account for a significant portion of Canada’s consumption habits today.

That was the thinking behind the Liberals’ decision to drop the section from the bill — but the move also opened the door to CRTC regulation of user-generated content, like your YouTube videos.

And while it’ll be up to the CRTC to draft exactly what those regulations might look like, experts have warned this could allow the CRTC to regulate anything they’d like on social media.

“The effect of the removal is to take the position that all user-generated content, all TikTok videos, Instagram uploads, YouTube videos and the like … all that content is subject to CRTC regulation,” explained Michael Geist, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, in an interview with Global News shortly after section 4.1 was removed.

Trudeau sekarang mengatakan bahwa perintah itu sekarang telah dipulihkan dan bahwa sementara ancaman tetap ada, polisi dan undang-undang yang ada akan cukup untuk mencegah pekerjaan lain.

Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan". - The ongoing protests in Hong Kong have reached a “breaking point” and Singapore is watching the developments “with concern”, said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Nov 18). “Unless calm is restored, dialogue commences and constructive actions taken, there will be grave doubts about Hong Kong's future and the sustainability of its current governance model,” said Mr Chan in his comments to reporters at The Treasury. Hong Kong has been rocked by months of unprecedented protests, which started initially from opposition to a controversial extradition Bill, but later evolved into a wider movement calling for democratic reforms and a halt to sliding freedoms under Chinese rule. Clashes between protesters and police have turned increasingly violent, with schools emerging as the new battleground in recent days. “We watch with concern the deterioration of the situation in Hong Kong. This is especially so for those of us with relatives in Hong Kong,” said Mr Chan. He added that Hong Kong's continued success as an economic and financial hub is important for the region and the world, including Singapore. “We wish Hong Kong the very best and sincerely hope that the situation will improve soon,” he said.FOUR LESSONS FOR SINGAPOREMr Chan cautioned that what has happened in Hong Kong can “easily happen” to Singapore if the country is complacent. He also explained four lessons that Singapore can draw from the recent uncertainties in Hong Kong. The first is to have a well-functioning political system, which works closely with the public service to anticipate challenges, execute policies well, resolve problems and improve people's lives. “Regardless of political systems and party interests, the exercise of leadership must be to put people’s and country’s interests foremost,” the minister said. Feedback channels will also be required to enable responsive and responsible governance, he added. “Only with a well-functioning political system, the right political culture and a well-oiled feedback-to-action mechanism can we make adjustments to policies as necessary, execute decisively and communicate effectively.” “Today, too many governments and societies are too focused on the immediate and domestic, without sufficient considerations for the future or external.” As an example, he cited how the access to affordable housing and essential services is fundamental to keeping society stable. “The transfer of land ownership and properties across generations cannot be at the expense of depriving future generations’ opportunities to be rewarded based on hard work and capabilities. It cannot be that those who are rich first will be rich forever without due effort.” Mr Chan noted how there have been suggestions for Singapore to include land sales proceeds in the Budget and allow private developers land bank for longer periods so as to complete projects. “Our rules put national developments, especially public housing, as priority,” he elaborated. “We are careful to not distort incentives for Government to use land sales to maximise profits. Otherwise, it is the public that will ultimately pay. We are also careful to not let private developers’ interest override wider public interest. “Revenue from long-term land sales goes into our reserves to benefit future generations. This is the discipline we adhere to,” he said. Mr Chan then moved on to the third lesson on social cohesion and conflict resolution. “Unity amidst diversity requires all parties to bear in mind the wider good of the country, while championing the respective wants of specific communities. “To insist on maximal individual gains, at the expense of the common and collective good, cannot be the Singapore way,” he said. The “Singapore way” also includes dialogue and constructive actions, instead of violence, when it comes to resolving problems. Mr Chan stressed that conflict resolution requires all parties to take actions that are responsible and constructive. Singaporeans are also ultimately responsible for our their future. “Regardless of what others say, we must bear the responsibilities and consequences of our own choices and actions. This is why we are against foreign interference in domestic politics,” he said. Lastly, the minister noted that it is never easy for small city-states to survive and thrive without a conventional hinterland for supplies, markets and opportunities. “Singapore will have to pick up the pieces ourselves should things go badly wrong,” he said. Therefore, Singapore's continued relevance to the world is “never a given” and the country must continue to work hard, distinguish itself and stay exceptional amid global uncertainties. This includes growing opportunities for local enterprises and workers, as well as providing value to regional and global geo-strategic affairs with principled perspectives and clear-eyed analysis of the challenges and opportunities, among others.

SINGAPURA: Protes yang sedang berlangsung di Hong Kong telah mencapai "titik puncak" dan Singapura menyaksikan perkembangan "dengan keprihatinan", kata Menteri Perdagangan dan Industri Chan Chun Sing, Senin (18 November).  "Jika ketenangan tidak dipulihkan, dialog akan dimulai dan tindakan konstruktif telah diambil, akan ada keraguan besar tentang masa depan Hong Kong dan keberlanjutan model pemerintahan saat ini," kata Mr Chan dalam komentarnya kepada wartawan di The Treasury.  Hong Kong telah diguncang oleh berbulan-bulan protes yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya, yang dimulai awalnya dari oposisi ke RUU ekstradisi yang kontroversial, tetapi kemudian berkembang menjadi gerakan yang lebih luas yang menyerukan reformasi demokratis dan penghentian kebebasan geser di bawah kekuasaan Tiongkok.  Bentrokan antara pemrotes dan polisi semakin berubah menjadi kekerasan, dengan sekolah-sekolah muncul sebagai medan pertempuran baru dalam beberapa hari ...
