    Maybe we just need to ban all social media for the last 2 weeks leading up to an election, similar to how many countries ban publishing polls in the final stretch before an election.

      I might be wrong, but the UK I believe has laws against the media talking about elections like the day before and day of polling.

      That’s just blanket censorship, breaking up social media companies and forcing their federation, shut down is a better deal imo.

      Simply banning mass forms of communication is backwards and will obviously lead to accusations of rigging for the incumbent party.

      Maybe we need to find the spine to auto-lock/auto-ban all such enemy-agent bots.

      WELL past-time we did-so.

    They should shut it down, at least during elections but really just for good would be perfect.

    You need to block X and musk from your country before any election. He will start paying your voters to vote the way he wishes.

      Mostly American and some Indian lol. Lots of liberals left Twitter anyways so they’re being targeted on different platforms, but Facebook and X are breeding grounds for astroturfed pro American/ Alberta separatist bullshit.

      All the convoy types as you would expect are eating up and regurgitating anything remotely negative.

    I’d sure love to see Canada and the UK simply shut X down within their borders. There were some grumbling awhilemago, in the UK Parliament of naming Musk as an extremist, based on his ability to not only buy influence, but his ability through X to promote or censor speech as he likes, influencing elections, or even overthrowing governments.

    Wait, there’s still people on twitter? I left when Phony Stark took over, the writing was on the wall at that point.
