    wtf is this trash? I’ve only read Canadian bills but this looks like amateur work. Where are the definitions? How the hell are they supposed to regulate Social Media Websites without defining them or referencing the legislation that defines them?

      It’s section 3:

      For the purposes of this Act, a “social media platform” means a platform which—

      (a) has the sole or significant purpose of enabling users to create, share, discover or consume user-generated content;

      (b) enables users to discover, interact with or follow the content or accounts of users other than those with whom they communicate privately.
