CHARBONNEAU – Facebook should be treated like other Canadian utilities
SO MANY CANADIANS use Facebook that it should be regulated like any other Canadian utility.
No broadcaster or telephone company would operate in Canada without government oversight. We should make it comply with our regulations as with other communications utilities.
It’s the most-used Canadian social media. Ninety-four percent of Canadians aged 18 to 44 have a Facebook account. Overall, 84 per cent of us have an account and 80 per cent check the site daily according to The State of Social Media in Canada, 2017.
Now, Facebook is about to become more integrated into our lives with an announcement May 1, 2108, of a dating service.
