Canadian Parliament Petition to Ban X - Sign Now!
Canadian Parliament Petition to Ban X - Sign Now!
Let's get this to the front page.
You're viewing a single thread.
Why should anyone waste their time signing an e-petition that doesn't include all American based social media when every one of those companies support Trump?
Don't divide the problem up and push for real legislative change that impacts all social media if you don't want to waste your time.
Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress
It doesn't need to be perfect it needs to make sense, and it doesn't make sense to work to ban one American social media company when they are all guilty.
Don't use useless platitudes to make a point.
Did you even read the petition? It even gives the suggestion of using decentralized networks and community regulated platforms. What part of that makes you think they're going to jump to posting on Facebook?

Did you even read my comment? It even gives a clear point that all American social media companies are guilty. What makes you think Facebook or Google wont work with the Trump administration to manipulate Canadian accounts when they support the US administrations policy and goals?
I suggest you don't respond to me unless you have a coherent point to make.
all American social media companies are guilty
I don't disagree with you, but you're arguing about switching to another US company when nobody is suggesting that.
The petition says:
transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.
This seems like the opposite of American social media companies. What part do you disagree with? Facebook and Google are quite clearly not "publicly accountable alternatives"

I don't know what defect you have but hopefully this 1,000+ entry list that isn't 100% Twitter accounts, including official Police and Military pages, will help you get it.
It is not about Transferring from Twitter to another, it is about calling to transfer all accounts off of all American platforms instead of wasting time on one genius.
I guess since the petition we have doesn't point out every single problem that exists, we better not sign it, because we need perfection, a minor improvement is unacceptable. /s
You should learn to read before you try to write.
I can't read what you mean if you just insult me instead of attempting to communicate better. Clearly we have different views on this. I'm pretty sure I'm not misunderstanding you, I just think your argument is unproductive and pretty much in-line with the saying "perfect is the enemy of good"
I can’t read
I know.
