Today, new reports are indicating that thousands of online posts opposing Justin Trudeau this week are actually originating from a sophisticated network of ‘bots.’
Friend, we already know that Conservative politicians and their allies are gearing up to roll back our progress.
Today though, new reports are also indicating that thousands of online posts opposing Justin Trudeau this week are actually originating from a sophisticated network of ‘bots.’
A National Observer analysis of one Twitter hashtag opposing Justin Trudeau found that it “was actually driven by accounts tweeting at non-human rates, including about two dozen accounts created in the past 48 hours.”
Furthermore, the Observer's analysis of more than 30,000 tweets found “numerous indicators of inauthentic activity.”
It’s clear that positive politics isn’t part of their programming, friend.
We’ve always known that we’d see these kinds of tactics as we approach the campaign, and our opponents will stop at nothing to roll back our progress. That’s why we always need to be ready to respond – with the hope and hard work of dedicated Liberal campaigns across Canada.
Canadians will face a clear choice in this election. While Conservatives are focused on cutting vital services that families rely on and going back to the same failed policies of the Harper decade, Liberals are focused on our positive plan to continue investing in the middle class.
There’s so much more to do for Canadians – but we need your support to keep moving forward.
Chip in now to support Justin Trudeau and the Liberal team at this important moment:
