  • I believe this is the first time a Canadian politician has addressed the algorithm as a thing controlled by a very small amount of people instead pretending it's some magical thing.

    This should apply to every social media platform that suggest content to users.

  • Big thing is that the dev is very active and responsive to feedback. Which is really useful given Lemmy is in its developmental phase for the most part.

    Unlike Sync which while good is largely abandoned thses days.

  • I saw a tiktok video talking about how Instagram starts the redpill/incel stuff early for the young people then they become failures in life at which point they push the guru stuff for "guidance".

    EU and even China has at least made a attempt of holding these companies accountable for the algorithm but US and Canadian government just sat there and did nothing.

  • He had a bit of quiet spell during the India foreign interference in the Conservative leadership things a couple months back. Funny enough foreign interference report is suppose to come out next week.

    Does Pierre have one likable trait

  • Instagram is probably notably worse, I have a very establish account that should be very anti that sort of thing and it keeps serving up idiotic guru garbage.

    Tiktok is by far the best in this aspect, at least before recent weeks.

  • At the end of the day it was all pandering in the first place.

    If it isn't a legal obligation then all these mega companies environmental, social and even fact checking activities was essentially just a line item under the marketing budget.

  • I like to block Trump glazers and quite few other accounts of that nature.

    Actually think the the Lemmy style user lookup where you can quickly see what stupid comments people have posted in the past to be rather useful for sifting out the low quality trash.

    Pierre: "I've already ordered all of our Conservative MPs, Senators, and our staff, to stay away from TikTok all together...by the hostile regime in Beijing."

  • I really can't understand how Jagmeet has been allowed to lead for so long with the results he's had and Charlie didn't even get a shot.

    And then there's this. How do NDP members defended him barely beating Niki Ashton.

    And yet, in the end, the result was not even close. Angus — with 19 per cent of the vote — not only finished more than 30 points behind Singh, he barely beat Niki Ashton (17 per cent) for second place.

  • The chief actuary's position paper, posted online on Friday, comes to a similar conclusion as University of Calgary economics professor Trevor Tombe. Last year, Tombe calculated that Alberta would be entitled to between 20 and 25 per cent of the $575-billion plan.

    "It is a clear rejection of the government's 53 per cent claim that has been quite prominently touted now for some time," said Tombe, who is the director of fiscal and economic policy at the university's School of Public Policy.

    ...

    Tombe says LifeWorks derived that estimate by assuming Albertans would be entitled to as much interest as if it had created an independent provincial pension plan in 1966 — when the CPP began — and watched interest accrue.

    The chief actuary, Assia Billig, disagreed with the LifeWorks interpretation. Her position paper says the federal law governing the CPP must be interpreted as if all provinces could withdraw from the plan at the same time and take their share.
