How not to get digitally duped this election
from This Matters · host Toronto Star
Guest: Toronto Star reporter Alex Boyd As Canada heads toward a federal election, the online information landscape is getting messier, more manipulated, and harder to recognize in real time. From repurposed Facebook groups to shady digital operations selling conspiracy-laced content and merch, these tactics are designed to grab attention and slowly shift public opinion. We talk about the strange case of the local buy and sell group in Hamilton, that morphed, almost overnight, into a far-right pro-Trump hub. Produced by Saba Eitizaz, Paulo Marques and Sean Pattendon
