TikTok stars say they may head to U.S. or spoof an American location to avoid form filling over ‘Canadian content’ rules

Canadian TikTok and YouTube stars say they don’t want to have to fill in forms to prove they are producing Canadian content when Bill C-11 becomes law, with some saying they would be prepared to move to the United States or spoof an online location there to avoid extra bureaucracy.

They say having to certify their work is Canadian to satisfy a regulator after the online streaming bill passes through Parliament could dampen the spontaneity of their craft.

TikTok stars should worry about their data being sent to China.
