Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Canada has introduced a new rule for major streaming companies like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, and Spotify. The new law requires streaming companies earning more than 25 million dollars annually in Canada to spend 15% of their Canadian revenue on Canadian and Indigenous movies, TV shows, music, and news. They can produce new Canadian content or contribute to special Canadian media funds. Previously the requirement was only 5%, so the new amount is much larger. The government believes this could generate more than 2 billion dollars yearly to support Canadian programs and French-language shows. At the same time, traditional TV and radio stations will face lighter rules to keep the system fair.
