April 21, 2025 | In an interview with The New York Times, Aengus Bridgman warns that Meta鈥檚 2023 news ban on Facebook and Instagram in Canada has left the country鈥檚 online media environment vulnerable to disinformation and polarization ahead of the federal election. With mainstream news blocked, hyperpartisan pages like Canada Proud have surged in popularity, spreading misleading content and amplifying political division. Bridgman emphasizes that Canadians are increasingly exposed to generative A.I.-driven fake news and less likely to encounter diverse perspectives, deepening the 鈥渃ontinued spiral鈥� toward misinformation in the digital landscape.
