PIAC discusses Bill C-11 - the "Online Streaming Act" with Scott Benzie of Digital First Canada, a group representing Canadians making user-generated content on social media and related platforms. We discuss PIAC's proposal of "statIc" versus "dynamic" discoverability as a method to reach a compromise between promotion of Canadian content and user-generated content. We also discuss algorithmic platforms and the present environment for digital creators in Canada as well as several scenarios and their effect on viewers and creators if C-11 passes as is. Part 2 of 2 part special.
PIAC remarks to Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage on Bill C-11 are found here. PIAC argued for a fix to the “discoverability” sticking point to solve the “user-generated content” question. Too bad we got no questions on our proposal from MPs. We are not sure ignoring consumers helps. PIAC will seek to appear before the Senate of Canada during its consideration of Bill C-11.
PIAC discusses, once again, Bill C-11 - the "Online Streaming Act" which is an Act to Amend the Broadcasting Act, to, among other things, require "Internet broadcasters" to be registered under Canadian law and contribute to the creation of "Canadian content" or more simply, "CanCon". We recap PIAC's appearance before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage at the House of Commons (CHPC) and in particular, detail our idea to "fix" C-11, in particular, the user-generated content issue.
We argue that the "discoverability" issue and the "exemption" of "YouTubers" and other online content creators that has roiled the House and the (Canadian) Internet can be managed by reducing its scope. Our idea is to define discoverability as not not one concept but two: static discoverability and dynamic discoverability. "Static discoverability" is a banner on YouTube or another platform that simply links, upon a consumer click, to selected CanCon. It is “static”, unobtrusive and, likely, unobjectionable to consumers but still clearly “promotes and recommends” CanCon. "Dynamic discoverability" requires AI prediction tools to insert a CanCon video or song into a user’s autoplay feature, or to ‘dynamically’ suggest links. It is intrusive and disruptive to the user’s expectations and experience. It is overkill to achieve the goal to “promote and recommend” CanCon.
Our recommendation is to amend the Bill by removing language requiring dynamic discoverability but leaving language requiring static discoverability. This will also take pressure off the question of what CanCon should be defined as. Discuss.
This is Part 1 of 2 part special. Our second part will feature a representative of the user-generated content community.
