Discussion · Government Orders
Jonathan Rowe Conservative
“These rules would apply to YouTube, which regular people and artists use to share videos. Where does the government draw the line? Will adult video sites be ignored while YouTube gets regulated and taxed?”
“Mr. Speaker, if I understand correctly, these rules would even apply to YouTube, a website that provides one of the easiest avenues for Canadian artists to put their skills, talents and content on display. It is basically a website on which common folks can post their content. Where would the bill start, and where would it end? Where would the Liberals draw the lines? Are we going to start taxing all websites that have videos on them? This is my question: Where would the porn streaming sites fall under the bill? Would adult films be left out, unregulated and untaxed, while YouTube is regulated and taxed?”
