Canadians using Twitter/X are being bombarded by misleading right-wing posts designed to boost Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and tarnish the reputation of Mark Carney.
The FT’s analysis finds a growing volume of that misinformation is coming not from Russia or China, but the United States.

Lets face it, if you are still on shitter you are either right-wing or extremely dumb
I don’t think there is an “or” there.
IHMO it’s not either-or. It’s both-and
Sadly there are extremely dumb people that aren’t conservative, its seriously impressive how they combine completely contradictory opinions
I’d include whoever works there. During the first year, ok, it’s time to find another job. Now, no, you’re just one of them.
my partner is still on Xitter 😭 I’ve tried but failed to convince them to abandon that shithole site
Sorry comrade. I feel your pain.
I have a good friend who has been mildly but annoyingly radicalized by Twitter and Facebook. I told him that I don’t click on any of the X or Instagram links he sends, and endured a tirade of nonsense, which I basically ignored. He tells me that “he learns things on Twitter that he wouldn’t learn elsewhere”. Yes, like Nazi propaganda! 😢
I’ve got family that lives on an island. They’ve been holding onto twitter as the only way to get ferry updates.
I only recently found out, so have been switching the family (and slowly other islanders) to Nitter to follow that single account.
