Everything the Americans said about TikTok and more can be said about Twitter/X’s dangerous role in Canada.

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.

There already are replacements. Replacements not owned by fascists.

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.

The Canadian government could even set up their own Mastodon server and disallow public sign-up, ensuring that fakes could be easily spotted.

Saskatchewan’s DUI hire is still using it. Moe-ron publishes all his public statements there, I personally cannot see them because I do not have an X account but they are shared on Reddit. Scotch Moe is doing less than the bare minimum when it comes to the Canada-US trade war. Slow Moe spent about a month down in DC prior to the official launch of the tariffs trying to talk to people to get it stopped or something. I am blanking on any of the other names for the premier of Saskatchewan.

I’m partial to Australia’s name for their own rotten Scott: Scummo.

Inciting violence!!!

Better to just revoke their citizenship and deport them. Make the X Canadians into ex-Canadians.

You are assuming decapitation would cause injury. I am pretty sure their brain body connection has been severed, as evidenced by their continued use of That Site. Thus any message from the nociceptors never gets past the neck anyway.
