I am so shocked, I am crying right now!


"the best of the social networks"

it's literally crypto spam and neo-nazis on that site now... how is this the "best"


It's literally not. I don't see any of those two things you mentioned. Unless you want to call neo-nazis anyone with an opinion you don't agree with, as some do. And even then, you still can't classify as crypto spam everything else.


There's all sorts of stuff there and you can filter it to some extent


The "best" and "most popular" is often conflated


Probably because Musk's purpose for Twitter is to influence elections and public opinion, not to make money.


So just like the previous owners?


The thing is, even if the CBC is government-funded, it is still independent reporting, unlike news outlets from China, Saudia Arabia, or Russia, which are straight out lies and propaganda. Any teen with access to social media can debunk 75% of stories on those outlets. NPR, CBC, BBC, and the rest are on a different planet compared to the other garbage.


CBC is the news organ of canadian public service and this the liberal party. There is no question of it's extreme bias, both for the liberals and their agenda and against others parties. And it's not just that they're "left" leaning, they are explicitly pro-liberal, as is the entire public service, because they've all got their faces in the government trough.

It's almost impossible to get real news in Canada. The only non far-left source is the National Post which is not particularly good and is partisan. But re CBC, I'd encourage people to look at their news, what they focus on and what they leave out, and decide how independent of the Liberals they are.


As a European I find this very offensive


yey!



Thanks to the Middle East and Peter Thiel's secretly orchestrated bank run... that is!


For who is not aware, this is how America works: Corporations have more rights than you! Rich people have more rights than you!


Mostly because the vast majority happens via Meta's platforms
