Bill C-18: changes to news access in Canada 2023, by age group

As a result of news content being blocked on Meta platforms following Canada's Bill C-18, also known as the Online News Act, 22 percent of adults aged 18 to 34 years old reported turning to other social media such as Reddit or X. This demographic however were more likely to say that they made no changes since they did not engage with news anyway. Older consumers above 55 years were the least affected, with more than 40 percent saying they had not changed how they accessed news as they did not go to social media for updates.

鉴于加拿大《C-18法案》，亦称《在线新闻法案》，导致Meta平台上的新闻内容被封锁，因此18至34岁的成年人中有22%的人表示转而使用其他社交媒体平台，例如Reddit或X。然而，这一群体中更多人表示他们并未做出任何改变，因为他们原本就不接触新闻。而对于55岁以上的老年消费者来说，受影响最小，超过40%的人表示他们并未改变获取新闻的方式，因为他们并不通过社交媒体获取更新信息。
