涩里番

March 24, 2025 |聽With trust in journalism eroding, disinformation once fringe is now mainstream. Much of it is spreading on social media. Professor聽Taylor Owen聽says the online media environment in Canada is more fragile and vulnerable to manipulation than ever before. A dangerous situation at the best of times even more so during an election.

"The challenge, I think, and the overall challenge we face is about the reliability of information in the ecosystem. Like, do we have filter processes and filters for us to know as consumers whether we can trust something? And I just don't think we do anymore. I think that's really broken down. And that leaves us vulnerable to false information and those who might want to spread it," says Owen.
