Facebook should be fined for election interference.
Elections Canada must investigate them and Twitter.
Shut that cancer down
this is the only way, fuck facebook
A fine for a corporation that wealthy would have to be astronomical, at which point I’m not sure how we’d enforce it.
I’d prefer they just be denied to canadians, but I don’t know if that would go over well either.
A fine for every day the problem persists, at a reasonable 1% of daily revenue, enforced by ban.
Totally! but would facebook pay? I just finished “Carless People” and those guys appear to be only in it for themselves
If Facebook accepts money for ads they should be vetted.
We can’t keep saying “well it’s a platform”. There’s a big difference between posting on FB and respecting platform rules, and showing ads that violate law.
There should be no expectation of free speech for paid content like this.
ban it in Canada … for crying out loud. We can’t keep losing democracy thanks to big tech.
I’m pretty sure more people look at these ads than watched TV political ads and I think they had more restrictions that these ever did.
Even worse facebook is now mostly populated by mid aged + folks which are more susceptible to fake videos. This is a super targeted, very well organised and possibly with facebook execs fully on board (and making tons of money out of it) campaign. This is a cancer where billionaires make more billions at the cost of fucking up democracy and people’s lives. It should be treated in accordance to its true nature and surgically removed.
Big tech IS the emerging oligarchy. Look to the south… We need to preserve our education—first and foremost.
Every major Internet site should be. Why do TV ads get vetted by the FCC and Internet ads don’t? A growing portion of the population doesn’t even watch broadcast TV anymore.
I’m hoping we have a more critically educated population in Canada. I’m hoping our population understands what is at stake. I’m hoping the majority realizes our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is under attack.

Your dream is my dream. Not all Canadians value intellect and awareness, when bravado and assumptions will do. Unfortunately.
We also have a lack of critical thinkers in Canada.
A section of my wife’s friends (ex friends?) Are Trump supporters.
A branch of her family live and breathe Facebook nonsense without questioning validity.
A coworker sends me conspiracy theory videos, even though he works as a highly skilled engineer. Being smart and critical dissemination of information are different thought processes apparently.
Don’t confuse intelligence with knowledge. He blindly believed everything they taught him in engineering as well.
Let’s hope an american BBS cannot manipulate Canada.
This is why we need to vote! We can’t wait for the govt to police this cause it will be too late and then they are the govt.

Facebook is being flooded with deepfake
newsreports about Mark CarneyAt this point, if my own mother posted a Happy Birthday message to me on Facebook, I would want to double check my birth certificate to verify it.
“CBCNN” 😂
It’s the actual acronym of the CBC News Network channel.
And they do use that logo, ex:
