What does this mean exactly?
There's no indication the Government of Canada's profile on X will stop showing their own messages.
Granted, they might find themselves Community Noted, since the Canadian government (NB: any government, really) can also be prone to amplifying misinformation, conspiracy theories, and harmful rhetoric.
But they want Canadians to believe a new community-regulated platform, prioritizing accuracy and safety - as defined by people throwing tantrums at the mere possibility of diverse perspectives - is going to be more reliable, accountable, and accessible?
Peak performative nonsense. And I expect no less than several million signatures.
