The way I interpret it, they're going to put anything that's social media under the jurisdiction of the CRTC. This will give them the power to dictate stuff like CanCon requirements, but it'll also give them the power to deem content offensive and issue fines. The crtc recently admitted they don't give any consideration to charter concerns when they issue broadcasting fines. Moreover, the government has explicitly refused to limit rules to non user-generated content so potentially a provider could be fined based on a comment.

Basically, we're on the verge of the end of the internet as we know it in Canada. What remains will need to be like cable TV -- measured, censor approved, likely incredibly corporate.
