@mike @atomicpoet @mmasnick Now this got me curious too, so I looked up the definition of Digital Platform that the Online News Act uses.

A platform has a significant bargaining power imbalance if it is large (e.g., in terms of revenue) and occupies a prominent position in Canadian markets that are strategic or essential for the provision of news (e.g., the search engine market and the social media market).
