b'The government\\u2019s Internet regulation plans were back on the agenda last week as a \\u201cwhat we heard report\\u201d was released on online harms and Bill C-11 \\u2013 the sequel to last year\\u2019s controversial Bill C-10 \\u2013 was introduced by Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez. The Law Bytes podcast will devote several episodes to the bill in the coming months. For this week, however, rather than inviting a guest to discuss a bill that people are still assessing, I appear solo and walk through the bill\\u2019s provisions involving user generated content. The podcast also highlights several ongoing concerns involving the near-unlimited jurisdictional scope of the bill, the considerable uncertainty for all stakeholders, the misplaced trust in the CRTC, and the weak evidentiary case for the bill.\\nThe podcast can be downloaded here, accessed on YouTube, and is embedded below.
