    all American social media companies are guilty

    I don’t disagree with you, but you’re arguing about switching to another US company when nobody is suggesting that.

    The petition says:

    transition official government communications away from Twitter/X to more secure, community-regulated platforms that prioritise public safety, accurate information, and accessibility. We encourage the government to explore publicly accountable alternatives, including decentralised networks, to ensure reliable and responsible communication with Canadians.

    This seems like the opposite of American social media companies. What part do you disagree with? Facebook and Google are quite clearly not “publicly accountable alternatives”

      I don’t know what defect you have but hopefully this 1,000+ entry list that isn’t 100% Twitter accounts, including official Police and Military pages, will help you get it.

      It is not about Transferring from Twitter to another, it is about calling to transfer all accounts off of all American platforms instead of wasting time on one genius.

        I guess since the petition we have doesn’t point out every single problem that exists, we better not sign it, because we need perfection, a minor improvement is unacceptable. /s

            I can’t read what you mean if you just insult me instead of attempting to communicate better. Clearly we have different views on this. I’m pretty sure I’m not misunderstanding you, I just think your argument is unproductive and pretty much in-line with the saying “perfect is the enemy of good”
