Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 03:43:09 Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney. The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States. https://www.ft.com/content/743c1dec-0c5c-4c39-a940-830ce156c235 #tech #canada #cdnpoli #twitter #x #elonmusk #misinformation #cdnelxn #cdnelection |

Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 03:50:09 @parismarx I haven't used X for a couple of years - I am not the least bit surprised. The article is behind a paywall 😞 |

Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 04:43:26 A few years ago, there was a right wing Twitter campaign against Trudeau that deliberately mistated a speech he made. The funding behind the far right is astronomical. The whole "Trudeau must go" hashtag was astroturf, filled with AI slop & web scraped images of white couples. Inauthentic content cubed. https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/07/25/analysis/new-wave-disinformation-emerges-trudeaumustgo https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67201927 If Musk is on your side, you know who the bad guys are https://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025/03/07/X-Threatens-Our-Democracy-Canada-Should-Ban-It/ |

Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 04:46:06 @parismarx do not believe anything you see on it. |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 05:02:52 @parismarx Don’t believe the polls, or the news or social media. Just vote. Get everyone you know to vote. Elections are being manipulated in those ways all the time everywhere by billionaires. Sometimes they’ll exaggerate one way or the other way. Targeting this group or that group. Don’t trust anything; don’t relax if things are looking up. Just vote. |

Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 05:23:13 @parismarx i can't believe it .. |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 05:46:55 It's coming from Russia. It's just taking the long way 'round. |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 06:23:39 It's a pay-it-forward -model. If it succeeds, next it's Canada's job to do the psych op. |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 05:50:40 More evidence that Pierre Poilievre is Trump Lite. |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 06:33:35 Canada should shut it down until the election is over. |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 07:09:02 @parismarx There’s a pretty simple remedy for that problem. |
|
Föderation DE So 27.04.2025 09:49:41 @parismarx This kinda reminds me of the weeks before the election in Germany. |

Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 10:45:36 @parismarx @energisch_ Surprise, surprise! |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 10:49:08 @iThreepwood @parismarx problem is, even that we know for sure about election manipulations, what can be done against it? Will X and others like facebook etc be closed in nations with elections? It would take drastic steps to prevent influencing. Most press/media is no help either. The 4th pillar of democracy fails almost totally. |
|
Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 11:04:39 Twitter should have been banned in Canada and across Europe as soon as the #TariffShakedown started and Musk was stirring up trouble around the world and throwing Nazi salutes. It is past time legitimate governments defend themselves from this threat vector (and way past time legitimate posters got off Twitter using the "reach" excuse). |

Föderation EN So 27.04.2025 11:27:18 @parismarx get off both platforms. Everyone. Tell all your friends it’s just AI now. They are testing AI on them. |
