Canadians are increasingly turning to social media for news and commentary on the issues of the day. Unfortunately, this means that we are also subjected to, and are often victims of, disinformation, misinformation, as well as harmful and illegal content online.
In order to tackle this growing problem, we must restore transparency and accountability to our online spaces. That means dismantling the disinformation economy that funds the poisoning of our civil discourse and mandating that social media platforms are held accountable for amplifying the toxic content on their platforms.
