涩里番

February 27, 2026 | CTV News covered a report conducted by researchers at the Media Ecosystem Observatory (MEO) that found a small group of highly active social media users that are responsible for the majority of conspiracy theory content circulating in Canada. Analyzing more than 14 million posts across platforms including TikTok, X, Instagram, and Bluesky, the study concludes that roughly 100 accounts generate nearly 70 per cent of conspiratorial posts. The report highlights how platform engagement systems can amplify these narratives, even though only a minority of Canadians report believing them. MEO researchers warn that the spread of anti-institutional conspiracy claims can erode trust in democratic institutions and call for greater transparency from platforms and governments to mitigate their impact.
