Michael GeistSaddened to see @CharlieAngusNDP, who was once a key voice for user interests in copyright, disregard digital creators and the risks with Bill C-11. Asked repeatedly about a Senate amendment to address their concerns, he wrongly suggests creator fears based on misinformation.
Toby Harper-Merrett@mgeist Are creators misinformed if they suppose the incentives and intentions of the platforms are aligned with theirs?
Freezenet@toby @mgeist Not at all. Those fears are based on the text of the bill, not something the platforms were telling them. They know their business extremely well and know exactly how audiences come across their work more often then not.
The presumption that creators are fearing this bill simply because the platforms told them to fear it is, itself, disinformation.
Further, the idea that creators interests aligning with the platforms meaning that they are misinformed does not follow.
@freezenet @mgeist After years of pure wonk, the most practical and applied discussion of C-11 and C-18 I've heard.. https://betakit.com/jesse-wente-big-tech-c11-c18/ #betakit #cdntech #cdnpoli #pascalestonge
