One academic says it’s "terrible" to have tech companies labelling media accounts in the ad hoc and reactionary way Twitter has recently.
The director of the University of Toronto’s Knowledge Media Design Institute says inaccurate or overly simplified labels that are devoid of context are at best, ambiguous and at worst, a form of misinformation.
Your guys take from Trudeau's $600 million media fund, so you should also be labeled as government funded as well. elonmusk, make it happen, please.
SPIN DETECTED. 'Academics' don't know anything, they just throw shit out there, see if it sticks and then write about it.
Academics are frauds and also state funded.
Is CBC state funded? Yes, yes it is.
'Tech companies shouldn't be labelling media companies in ad hoc way' CP24: Communist Propaganda 7X24 Shouldn't receive funds from Trudeaus' State Funded Say whatever Trudeau wants .
I'm an academic and I disagree. Besides, YouTube has done similar labelling for years and mainstream media didn't whine about it.
So says a media company!
Who cares.
🤣🤣🤣 cause you're on Trudeau's payroll as well you need to cover for them. FFS
all they said was that the CBC is government funded and their is 1.24 billion reasons to support that
Not to hate on this lady's work, but her research seems to be primarily around age-friendly game design and other technologies impacting children. Strange choice CP24.
No one cares what some random “academic” has to say
Interesting.....
Sounds like cp24 gets money from the government
CBC/Radio-Canada has acknowledged asking social media companies to censor users on numerous occasions — so many times, in fact, that cataloging all instances would be too time-consuming.
The CBC wants 12-year-olds to read a book about a transgender teen who takes a job moonlighting as a drag queen at a “local club.” On Apr. 13, CBC Books promoted Canadian “trans masculine” author C.A. Tanaka’s book “Baby Drag Queen” as being “for ages 12 and up.”
media companies, why not stick to what you're good at - reporting the news - instead of trying to play doctor, engineer, and military general? Leave the stethoscopes, wrenches, and camo gear at home! 😂
Anything funded by the government (which technically comes from our pockets) we deserve to know.
Doesn't Bell Canada pay your wages? I think all Garbage Media should be exposed. Thank you Elon for keeping it real.
elonmusk
is the most useless news organization in the world. twitter should label it . nonsense fake
Journalists are scum
Why not? It’s funny how cbc hates the truth. The truth hurts. Either fix it or close up. Real easy. Drop the leftist bs
Get the corrupt academics involved. Newsflash Fake News after the last 3 yrs NO ONE TRUSTS THE EXPERTS aka Paid Experts
Shhhhaaaadup!
Quelle surprise. An academic doesn't like labeling...unless of course it's progressive companies labeling others who they don't like.
It’s not ad hoc
Actually, they should. That’s how corrections are made. Are we you saying that incorrect information should be left alone because we don’t want to ad hoc it? Ridiculous!
I mean, they are private companies, they can really do whatever they want. See how things work now, CP24?
Tech companies shouldnt decide what to censor but here we are
Look at you guys scramble it's priceless thanks Elon
Canadians don’t have the right to know which media sources are government funded? Look how they pushed Covid onto Canadians and with holding other information.
Hi Academic, Im John
*academic funded by federal government* Correct yourselves instead of making me do it, otherwise its just poor journalism.
God forbid someone calls out your government funding, eh?
no one cares what an academic has to say lol
is CP24 scare of something? just wondering
More ppl bent out of shape by the truth!
If the so-called 'academics' had not spent the past 2 years lying about everything under the sun... we may care what they have to say. You can shove your 'academics' up your ass.
Even if the government gives them a billion dollars?
So who gave you a call and said to write this?
If smgrimes doesn’t like Twitter either purchase it from elonmusk or stop complaining 🤷♂️
Oh please. It wasn’t “ad hoc”. They are funded by the government. What’s the big deal🤷♀️
‘Academic says” the first problem with this article. I think people should have enough sense to make their own decision. Listening to everyone with an opinion is how we got here in the first place.
Does that includes non western media ? Didn’t see yu crying for press tv 🤡
Why not?
The sunglass wearing peoples in trucks people who chug horse de-wormer have some opinions about media companies.
Hahahaha your rolodex of experts makes me laugh. You find an expert to say anything you have been told to report
Yeah that's what I said about RT, 'Russia Today' is already an implication enough but nobody came the rescue of an organization they don't like. Equal treatment. Pretty simple.
Not too long ago you journalist have been preaching how these tech companies are private companies and can do whatever they want.
Amazing how one side, who throws labels on everyone and everything doesn't like to be labelled themselves. Smells like hypocrisy
But it is ok if they falsely label posts as misleading or fact checked right? 🤡
maybe academics should try living in the real world and not their own fantasy world
'Academic' is the new 'expert' i see. Pfftt.
No they should not. But Musk thinks he is a god.
Media companies shouldn’t be funded by taxpayer money and stop labeling something they don’t agree with or investigate as mis/dis-information.
You lost me at “academic”. That’s code for activist.
CBC SHOULD have been labelled from day 1
Cry harder, you're next.
Suck it up covidpanic24
They have a right to do that… why are you so scared CP24?
But tech companies can take down things? LOL Rules for them, not for me I guess eh
Stop with the propaganda already. You have lost almost all credibility. GovernmentFundedMedia
🤣 Canadian Media is so pathetic
lmao oh y’all big mad
They have a right to include factual info on the page. Deal with it.
Why are you so afraid all of the sudden. This was done to the CBC because it was overdue. Is hiding the quiet part that we all know?
No one cares
Says the media company owned by Bell Canada
……says a media company.
