Literally a story about how the ultra-rich are incentivising the rest of us to turn on each other.
And that has been the underlying cause of much of the most damaging disinformation we have seen in recent years.
This sort of thing only gets worse as wealth inequality gets worse. #CDNpoli #ABpoli
Avi Lewis on the Governor General calling out the destabilizing impact of inequality during her inaugural speech: I was sitting not far from the Prime Minister, he was sitting not far from Louise Arbour. I hope this message is getting through.
While it seems like good intentions social media bans effectively offload the responsibility to maintain a safe platform on digital ID services that can register and sell even more of your personal data. It's why some of the biggest lobbyists for it are social media platforms themselves
"Just be honest with Canadians about this. If you are going to pass deals like this, be honest about the implications."

Climate advocacy was useful to him when Mark Carney could sharpen a personal brand on it between his Bank of England role and the next very high profile job he's long wanted.

I spoke to CBC NL about the federal government’s plan to introduce a higher social media age limit, and why we should be looking at the harms that affect people of all ages using these platforms instead of just young people.
