The best time for media, government and employers to actually understand social media and how it can be gamed by bad-faith actors and false outrage was a decade ago.
The next best time is right now.
Unbelievable how stupidly some of them are responding to blatant hateful opportunism right now.

Chattel slavery was genocide.
Transphobia is wrong in all forms.
Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Haiti, and Puerto Rico should be free.

Canada’s pro-Conservative corporate news media allows disinformation from Pierre Poilievre to go uncontested. So much for the truth—money is all that matters to them.

Look at how Trump distorts, propagandizes, & makes every world conversation gross.
World Cup: come for a minute, but don't you dare become illegal scum.
Gaza: Kill everybody so I can build a hotel.
Every world conversation ceases to be about the thing & gets swallowed into insane asylum talk.
