At least its unused!

These sorts of displays are entertaining when the general public can comment on it and community notes are open source. Haha https://x.com/mcuban...QrcObpkhVXe97Jg

How come all these “experts” are just university teachers that can’t get normal private sector jobs?



Experts urge federal government to pursue moderate, 'judicious' approach to harmful content online

Previous version of bill addressing online harms was harshly criticized

"The government says in a statement that the law would provide a way for it to go after social media companies for the harms their algorithms cause people, especially kids." Like hormone blockers?

How long can Canada try to push around social media companies before they just leave Canada?

Facebook called the Feds’ bluff and just shut off news links on FB… the Canadian market is a drop in the bucket for Meta & X… at some point it’ll be cheaper for these companies to just stop servicing Canada.
