Despite vigorous activity on Twitter, including 'politically polarizing' conversations on an international scale, the company says it's not yet detected large-scale attempts at disinformation or manipulation during Canada's federal election.

This Oct. 26, 2016 file photo shows a Twitter sign outside of the company's headquarters in San Francisco. Despite vigorous activity on the site, including "politically polarizing" conversations on an international scale, the company says it's not yet detected large-scale attempts at disinformation or manipulation.

Twitter has made changes to its elections-integrity and disinformation-spotting policies both as part of its own programs and as compliance with Canada's election laws. It's focusing on misinformation about voting, such as accounts spreading wrong dates to cast ballots. That means inaccurate statements about an elected official, candidate, or political party are not a violation of Twitter's policy, but misleading claims about long lines or equipment problems at voting locations, would be.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 24, 2019.

Whew. I am so glad Twitter said so. That makes me feel sooo much better!!

Paper ballots federally

except the Toronto Star, CBC and Global News, of course

consider the source !!!

Yes as no one is interested in the out come, come on look at the candidates.

Except for the manipulation of the main propaganda stream media such as CTV and CBC who block any information on the PPC and the fact that the Liberals block certain journalists from their rallies.

No outsider could tell that there is a federal election in Canada next month. It has gotta be the quietest election in the world of G7s.

Some people still call me a Russian bot ;_; all I ever wanted was too be a real boy
