Thank you for the question.
Under proposed subsection 2(2.1), which is still in the bill, an individual who uses social media to disseminate content is not considered a broadcaster. They are therefore not subject to CRTC regulation.
There is no need here to consider whether that individual can participate in CRTC processes or whether they must comply with CRTC regulations or orders, as proposed subsection 2(2.1) is quite clear: An individual, unless they are affiliated with a social media outlet, is not considered a broadcaster, regardless of how many subscribers they have or how much annual income they earn from the content they post on social media.
