MODERATORS
Just an aside, but has anyone had the misfortune to have a quick look at the comments over on r/canada or cbc.ca around these articles? The amount of dumb (i.e. simplistic, low information), seething hatred for basically everything, is overwhelming. I can't tell if this is all bots, or if something weird is coming out of the woodwork, but it seems like we've passed some tipping point and I'm starting to feel alarmed at where we are headed. I get this is super embarrassing, but no serious person could think there was malicious intent in this Parliament incident. Fuck-ups and carelessness happen, the guy resigned, time to move on and focus on real issues.
When you hand the Russians a propaganda victory, you can expect them to dial up the troll farms to 11 to get the most out of the opportunity. It's a big fuckup and CSIS/CSEC should have interdicted this TBH.
I'm sure we'll see new house policies to prevent this exact thing from happening again, but the stupidity of politicians is a force without bounds. I'm curious how you expect CSIS to have prevented this. Do you mean they should get involved with all of the actions of our political bodies, or to somehow stem the deluge of AI-generated divisive content?
