The CACP has looked at the extraterritorial issue. Where our major social media providers are not generally situated here in Canada, we looked at it from the perspective of encryption. How would we, if possible, regulate encryption in Canada? But where the apps and the service providers are outside of Canada it became very quickly apparent that it was going to be an extremely difficult task to regulate against encryption. I believe there are some parallels here with the social media providers when they are based outside of Canada and outside of our territorial reach, so to speak. I'm not sure whether regulation in Canada would have a great deal of impact.
