Everything the Americans said about TikTok and more can be said about Twitter/X’s dangerous role in Canada.

Wait! There are Canadians still using X? Off with their heads!!
Saskatchewan’s DUI hire is still using it. Moe-ron publishes all his public statements there, I personally cannot see them because I do not have an X account but they are shared on Reddit. Scotch Moe is doing less than the bare minimum when it comes to the Canada-US trade war. Slow Moe spent about a month down in DC prior to the official launch of the tariffs trying to talk to people to get it stopped or something. I am blanking on any of the other names for the premier of Saskatchewan.
I’m partial to Australia’s name for their own rotten Scott: Scummo.
Inciting violence!!!
Better to just revoke their citizenship and deport them. Make the X Canadians into ex-Canadians.
You are assuming decapitation would cause injury. I am pretty sure their brain body connection has been severed, as evidenced by their continued use of That Site. Thus any message from the nociceptors never gets past the neck anyway.
Do meta next!

Who cares if they’re perceived as the victim? People will forget about Twitter within 6 months if it’s blocked, and during that time, the propaganda machine takes a hit.
You can’t think like this anymore. We are dealing with fascists. We are bordering Germany pre-WWII. Any nonviolent action that will give us an advantage in a theoretical conflict is necessary.
I do believe we have a system for that now thought the digital tax act that JT and the liberals along with the NDP AND bloc pushed through. Allows us to levy taxes on tech companies and I think it was meant for exactly this

do it.
Just stop using it!! Meaning government officials agencies etc. It blows my mind that any thing close to any level of government in Canada still has or uses an account there
It’s all just bots anyway. At least 80%
They said such an app could be used for espionage and tracking down locations of federal employees and contractors.
But an operating system by an American corporation, and its office software, and authentication services, used by governments, business and citizens, is just fine.
I understand Twitter is used as a propaganda tool, but if we are also talking about espionage and tracking, then we should also pay attention to how many people and organizations are using companies like Microsoft, Apple and Google.
Shut down that shit!!! Fuck X.
I wouldn’t shed a tear if this happened.
Do it!
I’m all in favour of Canadians taking up the cause of helping their American (not-Trumplican) cousins.

Favour, we are in Canada gosh darn it!
So, the Great Firewall of Canada?

I dunno if the government should be babying us by banning it because I’m sure a replacement would just spring up immediately anyway.
Maybe they should just go after the dumbasses who spread misinformation or promote violence to the best of their ability. Oh but definitely make government agencies and officials stop using the platform though.
There already are replacements. Replacements not owned by fascists.
I see what you mean. Even if we ban it, the toxic users would find another platform, but we could hurt Musk’s bottom line by making the users migrate. In that case, then, I’m not so opposed to the ban.
The Canadian government could even set up their own Mastodon server and disallow public sign-up, ensuring that fakes could be easily spotted.

“Mean’s” in the headline.
Everyone seem’s to be doing that now and I hate it.
Good Lord, I thought that was just the OP’s screwup. Nope, it’s on the actual source page. What a bummer.
