Canadian Conservative leader's voting record misrepresented
Canadian Conservative leader's voting record misrepresented
Pierre Poilievre has staked out policies for his Conservative Party of Canada in stark opposition to those of the ruling Liberals ahead of this year's federal election, but social media users claim a screenshot of his voting record proves he sided with the government on hundreds of parliamentary motions. This is misleading; the statistic represents the total number of motions approved by Parliament regardless of party sponsor and legislative records show Poilievre voted against most Liberal proposals since the 2021 election.

Fake Mark Carney images emerge as Canada leadership race heats up
Since Mark Carney became a candidate for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada, images appearing to show him with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein and Klaus Schwab have circulated on social media. However, several of those pictures include watermarks and warped physical characteristics, which are strong indicators that they were generated by artificial intelligence.

Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America
Inciting rioters in Britain was a test run for Elon Musk. Just see what he plans for America
The presidential election is three months away. What if the billionaire contests the result? What if he decides democracy is overrated?
If Musk chooses to “predict” a civil war in the States, what will that look like? If he chooses to contest an election result? If he decides that democracy is over-rated? This isn’t sci-fi. It’s literally three months away.
None of this is happening in a vacuum. For a brief minute after 2016, there was an attempt to understand how these tech platforms had been used to spread lies and falsehoods – or mis- and disinformation – as we came to know them and to try to prevent it. But that moment has passed. A years-long effort by Republican operatives to politicise the entire subject of “misinformation” has won. It barely even now exists in US tech circles. Anyone who suggests it does – researchers, academics, “trust and safety” teams – are now all part of the “censorship industrial complex”.
A US congressional committee headed by Republican Jim Jordan, convinced that big tech was silencing conservative voices, went on the warpath. It subpoenaed the email history of dozens of academics and has chilled an entire field of research. Whole university departments have collapsed, including the Stanford Internet Observatory whose election integrity unit provided rapid detection and analysis in 2020. Even the FBI has been prevented from communicating with tech companies about what officials have warned is a coming onslaught of foreign disinformation and influence operations after a lawsuit brought by two attorneys general went all the way to the supreme court. The New York Times reported that it has only just now quietly resumed.
But what Musk – the new self-appointed Lord of Misrule – has done is to rip off the mask. He’s shown that you don’t even have to pretend to care. In Musk’s world, trust is mistrust and safety is censorship. His goal is chaos. And it’s coming.

Fabricated Forbes covers featuring Hamas leaders circulate on social
Fabricated Forbes covers featuring Hamas leaders circulate on social
Social media is awash with misinformation about the Israel-Hamas war, which was triggered by an unprecedented attack by Hamas militants on October 7. In one example, fabricated Forbes magazine covers that denounce two Hamas leaders for allegedly becoming billionaires through crime have been widely circulated. The American business magazine told AFP the covers are fake, and an analysis shows they contain publishing errors.
