I definitely think there's a concern here. No one wants the government deciding who does good news. That's a scary prospect for anyone who thinks seriously about it.
At the same time, the way they've set this up.... They've forbidden private entities from making those judgments, so they're creating a new system where no one is taking a hard look at whether this is quality content being distributed. That's actually undue interference in the rights of platforms like Meta, Google or others to make those decisions. I think people want to see the most trusted outlets appear fairly high up in their feeds—The National Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe and Mail, and so on.
