Help Ban Use of Musk'ovich Xitter Misinfo Mill by Canadian Gov't [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Two petitions were recently posted to the Canadian Parliament House of Commons website. One you have probably read about already is mostly symbollic and attempts to strip Musk’ovich of his Canadian citizenship. That petition has gained over 300k signatures as of this entry.
The far more important petition is the second one, though, which has only 6250 signatures (2% of the signatures the [pointless] attempt to unCanadian Leon Musk’ovich by remigrating him has) is a campaign to prevent Canadian political parties and government from using the Xitter platform. This one CAN have a tangible effect on the Canadian political information space. Canadian citizens can sign it HERE (www.ourcommons.ca/...).
It reads------------------------------------------------------->
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
The social media platform X does not perform adequate moderation of hateful expression such as Nazi ideology and fails to prevent the spread of disinformation and misinformation;
Canada and its government need to prevent foreign interference given recent reported incidents from China, Russia, and India;
As X's owner, Elon Musk spent more than $200 million USD as a private citizen helping Donald Trump's presidential campaign, potentially circumventing our political donation rules; and
As X's owner, Elon Musk attended and supports Germany's far right party AfD, demonstrating significant risk of his influence on increasing antisemitism and extremist ideologies impacting the social media platform X and how information is shared through it.
