People who agree with me politically are generally opposed to this sort of thing, meaning that this will be primarily used to influence things in favour of my political enemies. Feels bad.

So my proposal is that if you're found out using AI influencing bots, you face life in prison. Maybe we nip this shit in the early days by ruining lives that plan on ruining lives.
If you run a company that does this, it's dissolved and every member of the board of directors and their immediate family are prohibited from owning equity investments for 25 years.
Every election in the future is going to see AI generated deepfake bullshit.
Hell, there are already fake AI commercials with "Carney" saying things he never said, and making claims that are the opposite of what his actual actions are.
I saw them. They were fucking stupid. I don't like Carney for many reasons but using AI images of him and his voice to sell scam investments is unacceptable and he should sue those assholes to oblivion.
Our last one did have AI interference.
If you’re just starting to plan for this you’re already 5 years too late.
On top of that, X/Twitter is pure foreign interference. Facebook, TikTok, Google News are also foreign interference. All are proprietary algorithms, with no usable audit trail, owned by foreign companies, and tightly connected to the White House.
TikTok would be the exception, but it’s regulated by the Chinese government in ways we cannot see or inspect.
TikTok would be the exception, but it’s regulated by the Chinese government in ways we cannot see or inspect.
How is Tiktok an exception? It's the same as all the others, and China is quite famous for interference as the article also suggests.
Exception in being Chinese and not American (I.e.connected to the White House). That’s it. That’s all.
Yeah, but it's good that Canada's strategy is country agnostic, regardless of who tries to engage in foreign interference. It's bad here and there I would say.
Canadians need to understand that it is advisable to modify the online services they use in order to avoid, as much as possible, using, for example, American social networks or listening platforms.
We should not rely on only one source of resources; we must diversify the sources of the services we use, giving priority to Canadian services first.
Job creation idea: farms of propaganda specialists flooding the standard social media algorithms with messaging to help people think more critically, move off of techbro propaganda streams, and counter the bullshit that will be coming through. Make part of elections Canada, and track for possible recruits to CSE and CSIS, as well as for public affairs officers.
