The primary metric upon which your analysis is evaluated is your ability to thoughtfully apply the theories and concepts of CMNS230 in analyzing the real-world applications. Grading: You will be graded on the quality and thoroughness of your analysis. Writing skills are essential to enable you to communicate your ideas to others. Therefore, grading is also based on the clarity, flow, and overall cohesiveness of the writing in your paper. The rubric - the marks you can earn for each desirable skill demonstrated - is posted on the “course documents” in your portal. Organization, Structure & Format: How to structure your assignment 1. Introduction: Set up a thesis statement in which you briefly identify and summarize the point(s) you will make. 2. Main body: The next part should provide your analysis of the article’s argument(s). Your analysis should use concepts and theories you have learned in class. 3. Conclusion: Briefly draw the evaluation together in a short concluding paragraph. NOTE: Any references you cite should be identified in APA format and listed at the end of the paper. They do not count toward the word limit. Length · Your assignment should have words between 800-1,000 (excluding the title page and the reference list). You need to seriously limit the space you devote to summarizing and quoting the sources. I am looking for a critical analysis and your arguments. Perhaps the biggest mistake you can make is submitting a writing assignment that is largely a summary of the assigned sources. Format You must do the following: · Your assignment must be typed, double - spaced and have a font size of at least 12 points in Times New Roman. · Put the word count of your assignment in parentheses at the end. For example, “(800 words)” · The title page should have your full name, student id number and the class information (i.e., CMNS230). · The file you submit must be a Microsoft word document. · Files must be named Student Id Number_CMNS230_Paper.

Logistics: · Submit your paper to your portal under “writing assignment” 1 of 3 Pages Penalties: · You will receive a 10 per-centage point penalty for submitting an assignment after the deadline, and an additional 10 per-centage point penalty assessed every 24 hours. · No extensions will be granted under any circumstance (except verified illness). · We will deduct 2% if you fail to show the word count, exceed the word count, submit an unacceptable file format, use an improper file name, choose the wrong font, etc. · For each additional failure, 4% will be deducted. · Be aware that there is no cap on the total penalty. Academic Integrity: Columbia College takes incidents of plagiarism very seriously and prosecutes them vigorously. Not knowing what constitutes plagiarism is not a defense. Writing Tips: Some essential writing tips: · Give attention to your sentence structure and avoid sentences too long. · Accurate punctuations and complete sentences. · Make sure your paragraphs are self-contained and coherent: put only one main idea in each paragraph. Avoid too long (more than 1/3 of a page) or too short (one or two sentences only) paragraphs. · Make your main point early on, and make sure that everything you write serves to support your main point (even your counter - arguments serve to support your main point). · Support each argument with evidence, such as examples or other scholars’ researches and arguments. · Carry through on taming big tech.

With theatres closed due to the Covid 19-led Lockdown, OTT services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix and many more witnessed a 30 percent increase in paid members. These services are recognized for offering a large library of new, original, and diversified content, as well as unique tales, for a low monthly fee (Blake). These sites, such as Netflix, have their own self-regulation/censorship policies. OTT platforms have had their share of issues, leading to a discussion about whether censorship and control of OTT platforms is now necessary. The same shall be discussed in this essay.
Why OTT Regulation is a Topic of Debate?
If OTT platforms are governed by external agencies, self-censorship and creative freedom may be hampered. It is the state's responsibility to protect freedom of expression because it is a liberty protected against the state. The state cannot claim that it is unable to deal with the hostile audience issue (Devis et al.). As a result, the only permissible method of regulation is self-regulation, which includes issuing an age rating and warning viewers whether the video contains nudity, harsh language, violence, or any other element.
Should Internet and OTT Services be Regulated in Canada and Why?
The federal government of Canada intends to levy significant fees for all internet services under the country's updated Broadcasting Act.
