90% of deep fake images online are non-consensual pornographic images of women and girls.
And yet, these images are not yet illegal in Canada.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. This year's theme is digital abuse.
Fewer than 40% of countries have laws protecting women from cyber harassment or cyber stalking. This leaves 44% of the world’s women and girls without access to legal protection.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

I like to call my gym routine - well, to be fair, all the ways I take care of myself at 50 - my favourite infrastructure project. There’s no glamour in the daily promises you keep to yourself but the strength part (mental & physical) is definitely cumulative. Keep going 🖤

A little louder for the folks in the back. I ran to get my daughter this vaccine and you should too. Any woman who’s been through cervical cancer stuff can tell you exactly why.

So terrible. More important than ever that Canada beef up its health communications to protect Canadians.

Yes! If you’re working to fight misinfo like we are, you can’t play by the salacious rules of wild algorithmic success because if you did you’d be feeding into the systemic mess. Healthy content development demands of us to see value and impact differently. www.linkedin.com/pulse/maybe-...

Doctors across Canada are deeply concerned that the #Alberta government’s proposed private care plan will leave more Albertans waiting even longer to access health care. The CMA is calling on the government to reconsider this proposal, and focus on known solutions to support public health care.
