Canada wants to protect kids online, regulate social media, crack down on deepfakes, and make streaming giants pay more into Canadian content. But will any of it actually work?
This week on Politics Is Broken, Brittlestar and Lisa dig into Bill C-34, the proposed under-16 social media ban, age verification, AI guardrails, online harms, and whether government rules can keep up with kids, parents, tech companies, and the internet being... the internet.
Plus: Canadian culture, streaming platforms, the CRTC, Netflix, TikTok, Canadian creators, and why relying on American companies to save Canadian stories might not be the strongest national strategy. Also, somehow, butter tarts.
