Everything the Americans said about TikTok and more can be said about Twitter/X’s dangerous role in Canada.
Just stop using it!! Meaning government officials agencies etc. It blows my mind that any thing close to any level of government in Canada still has or uses an account there
They said such an app could be used for espionage and tracking down locations of federal employees and contractors.
But an operating system by an American corporation, and its office software, and authentication services, used by governments, business and citizens, is just fine.
I understand Twitter is used as a propaganda tool, but if we are also talking about espionage and tracking, then we should also pay attention to how many people and organizations are using companies like Microsoft, Apple and Google.
I dunno if the government should be babying us by banning it because I’m sure a replacement would just spring up immediately anyway.
Maybe they should just go after the dumbasses who spread misinformation or promote violence to the best of their ability. Oh but definitely make government agencies and officials stop using the platform though.
I see what you mean. Even if we ban it, the toxic users would find another platform, but we could hurt Musk’s bottom line by making the users migrate. In that case, then, I’m not so opposed to the ban.
Best time was years ago, but now will work.
