Elections Canada has released this resource with some common bits of false or misleading content about elections on social media: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=dis&document=index&lang=e
We plan on pinning this resource, and we are proposing the following rules:
- Posts or comments with inaccurate or misleading information from this list will be removed, and users are encouraged to report them
- Repeatedly posting such content will result in a ban from the community until April 28 (at a minimum)
So far we haven’t noticed any serious issues, but we want to get ahead of anything that might come up
That seems like a little much - there’s plenty of foreign media that produces worthwhile content.
Blacklisting certain outlets, on the other hand…
That may be a more reasonable and targeted approach. I am mainly suggesting this from a place of concern about US interference in our upcoming election.
It may be easier to have a specific list of banned outlets.
I certainly wouldn’t miss the Western Standard…
Please, please, please, flag all foreign-owned media, especially foreign-owned “Canadian” media, which is part of the strategic-machine they’re running…
( no, I don’t mean as national-operations, I mean as operations intended to highjack the whole damn world, for sake of oligarchy’s dictatorship, which now I know to be an actual strategic-operation, … and I didn’t need any more depression-inducing “medication”, just now, thanks, world. Bah. Humbug, too. )
