“Canadian officials are also probably overestimating the value of staying on X. The number of Canadian users is declining, the algorithm is geared to amplifying far-right voices and the platform’s growing reputation for white nationalist content and non-consensual sexual images make the decision to exit clearer than ever.”

I had already read the essay,
but watching it was as fantastic.
This Cory Doctorow talk is so awesome. One of the most punk proposal I have heard lately.
I really hope Canada does it!
Thanks @pluralistic 🤘💚

Davvero interessante l'intervento che Cory Doctorow ha tenuto il 28 gennaio al 2026 Digital Government Leaders Summit a Ottawa. Presenta una strategia, politica ed economica per il Canada, ma non solo, per liberarsi dal dominio delle #BigTech USA.
Qui il video: https://archive.org/details/disenshittification-nation
e qui la trascrizione: https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/29/post-american-canada/#ottawa
E la traduzione di un breve estratto dall'apertura del suo intervento.
"Quindi oggi non ho suggerimenti da darvi su come perdere miliardi di dollari. Non ho idee su come distruggere il maggior numero possibile di posti di lavoro canadesi, né su come rendere il Canada più dipendente dai giganti tecnologici statunitensi.
No, tutto quello che ho da offrirvi oggi è un piano per far guadagnare al Canada decine di miliardi di dollari, offrendo prodotti e servizi che la gente vuole e per cui è disposta a pagare, garantendo al contempo la resilienza e la sovranità digitale del Paese, vincendo la guerra commerciale, liberando il popolo americano e lanciando il nostro settore tecnologico in un'orbita stabile per i prossimi decenni."

I’ve known Cory since before he was published, & watched his career with a deep joy in a loca nerd making good, but I have never been more proud to call him a decades-long casual convention acquaintance I’ve stolen cigarettes from than today.
If you read @pluralistic, you know why, but maybe you missed today’s post despite all the boosts & QTs?
So rather than just link to the article & say “Powerful words from one of Canada’s most well-known voices on tech…blah blah”, here’s a polite quote to give you a taste of what went down at the fed’s Digital Government Leaders Summit
“The cartel of four giant inkjet companies know they have us trapped, & they have monotonically raised & raised and raised the price of ink, so that today, printer ink is the most expensive fluid a civilian can purchase without a government permit. At $10,000 per gallon, it would be cheaper to print your grocery lists with the semen of a Kentucky Derby winning stallion.” 🤣🤣
Put this shit in your VEINS people!

Hello Mastodon!
I’m Avi Lewis, and I’m running to be the next leader of the federal NDP. Very excited to be part of the Fediverse!
I’m running for NDP leader because it’s time for the NDP to return to its roots—fighting a system rigged for the rich that leaves the rest of us behind.
We can build a Canada based on care instead of greed, but only if we do it together. There are only 4 days left to join the NDP so you can vote in the leadership race, so get your membership before Jan 28th and let’s fight for a government that serves the many, not the money.

Good to see Canadian politicians laying claim to Canadian digital spaces.
This is what leadership looks like.
Hey #canada - Do you find it weird that our politicians are using US social media platforms to talk with Canadians?
Do you wish they’d get serious about protecting our digital sovereignty?
Check out @ElbowsUpforDigitalSovereignty
I don’t know how I could get up in the morning, given everything that’s going on, if I didn’t know I was making a small difference for Canada’s future.
