Justice committee  I used to work for Preston Manning and he said to me not too long ago, “Michele, fake news is not new. You just have to go back to Genesis, and what the serpent told Eve was 100% fake news.” So it's not a new phenomenon. It's something, though, that we are very, very aware of and

Justice committee  Are you asking me to decide what is trustworthy and isn't trustworthy from a news perspective?

Justice committee  We work with many news organizations. That industry is changing, and a lot of them do not have blue check marks that should, so we are reaching out to them. We did that especially in advance of the Alberta election, to make sure that the parliamentary reporters were there. Howe

Justice committee  That's a good question for Google, though. They have a different approach.

Justice committee  Yes. Automation is permitted on the platform. I'll give you two positive examples. If you lose your luggage and you DM Air Canada, a bot will help triage where you are and what your flight number was. In Australia, they have a bot for self-harm, wherein you can text Lifeline Au

Justice committee  I'd be happy to hear them.

Justice committee  Let me take the second half of that first. You can mute words and accounts on Twitter, so if you were interested in the Raptors game tonight and couldn't see it, you could mute #WeTheNorth, #TorontoRaptors. You can filter that out of your conversations currently if you wanted to,

Justice committee  Thank you for your question. Obviously, the CRTC regulates a different set of media from us, and that's a conversation for you to have, in terms of regulation. I would revert to my previous answer with regard to anonymity. It is something we have embraced from the beginning wit

Justice committee  Again, I would say to you that an anonymous account is still completely subject to Twitter rules. It can be reported, should not be engaging in hateful conduct and should be actioned in the same way. We have taken a different approach to allowing anonymous voices. Again, I speci
