Google is in a very loud, very public fight with Canada about C-18. Canada has zero unique laws about LLMs, and actually has some of the weakest privacy laws among its peers. Canada is extremely pro corporate in this regards compared to the EU, for instance.
Google opened BardGPT to everyone on the planet except for a few despotic governments....and Canada. Their stated reasoning was "regulatory uncertainty". That is farce.
*WHAT PRIVACY LAWS*? Canada has incredibly weak, close to nonexistent privacy laws. Google didn't even claim what you're claiming, and instead cited "regulatory uncertainty", which is farcical. It's the same play oil companies do when they want their minions to declare that we should tax them less and give them more.
>Oil companies are one of the most taxed industries
Norway benefits 10-fold more from their oil reserves than Canada does. Oil companies have been spectacularly profitable exploiting Canada, yet still there are "woe are the oil company" sorts that are easily leveraged.
I hardly want to talk about oil companies, but it's a perfect example of where Canada being a small country that is easily exploited by mega multinationals comes into play.
>These country restrictions came out months before the bill. They are completely unrelated.
Google originally restricted BardGPT to just the US and the UK. They just opened it up to the world, barring only a couple of embargoed countries...and Canada. Do you understand the discussion you're actually taking part in?
Benefits more in what way? The government receives more taxes? Oil companies grow in value and society can purchase oil companies shares and profit of, which is taxed and goes back to the government? Private companies create jobs and employee income is taxed heavy which goes to the government.
The oil industry is heavily taxed now.
Things are more complex then you understand. Running around full of panic because facebook or google might not carry Canadian corporate news connecting it to other decisions is foolish. Buy a subscription if you truly care most are better off with less of that kind of news.

Utterly bizarre. Is your account some sort of experiment at having Bard write replies? Nothing you've said has made any sense or even been contextual with the discussion.
