How about we just petition CBC to get off that stupid platform … I sent a personal note telling them to get off this dumb private corporately controlled social media platform.
Fill out the details to send a complaint directly to the CBC Ombudsman
We can complain about it all till we turn blue in the face … but at the very least if a whole bunch of us and others we encourage to do the same make enough noise about this … CBC can get the incentive to get off that stupid platform.
It took me a while but I let the ombud know that, imho, CBC stories shouldn’t link to ANY commercial social media networks, and that, while this may have been acceptable in the early days of social media in order to promote the use of a new medium (if not the companies behind it) these particular companies have shown themselves to be poor stewards of their users data as well as having little concern for the accuracy of the ‘news’ that appears on their platform. Further, a public broadcaster should not endorse particular commercial brands when there are public, non-commercial alternatives .
CBC still endorses X as a platform to post their stories, though. Maybe one day soon we won’t even see his bastardized X11 logo on there.
