Michael Geist knows a lot about the evolving landscape of Canadian media regulation. He discusses the challenges faced by the government and the CRTC in adapting to rapid technological changes, particularly regarding internet regulation, streaming, and news distribution. Geist explains how legislation like Bill C-11 and Bill C-18, intended to modernize broadcasting and make tech giants pay for news, often misses the mark due to a lack of understanding of digital business models and end-user needs. The conversation highlights the decline of traditional news, the influence of lobby groups, and the slow, sometimes outdated regulatory process. They also address the growing role of AI in media, emphasizing the need for greater transparency and disclosure requirements. Geist calls for a more balanced, informed approach to regulation that considers both innovation and public interest, while Matt reflects on the diminishing diversity of voices in Canadian media.<a href="https://magic.beehiiv.com/v1/6d47025e-1d58-4baa-a093-62edafe3a734?email={{email}}" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Please sign up for the SOUNDING OFF Newsletter.</a>&nbsp;All the things that went unsaid on the show.
