Foreign Accounts Fuel Alberta Separatism
from Edmonton News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A CBC investigation exposes a shocking online operation: overseas accounts from India and Pakistan are faking Alberta separatist campaigns, impersonating real Albertans—including a noodle seller from Indonesia—to generate engagement and profit. These accounts, some part of a coordinated network, post stolen content, fake harassment stories, and even earn money via Facebook’s creator programs. Despite Facebook’s claims of removing violations, many accounts remain active. The case underscores how social media’s engagement-driven model fuels misinformation, especially on divisive issues—and why critical thinking online is more vital than ever.
