Elections Canada has released this resource with some common bits of false or misleading content about elections on social media: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=res&dir=dis&document=index&lang=e

We plan on pinning this resource, and we are proposing the following rules:

edit: Thank you for the feedback everyone, these adjusted rules will be enforced:

  • Posts or comments with inaccurate or misleading information from this list will be removed, and users are encouraged to report them
  • Repeatedly posting such content will result in a ban from the community until April 28 (at a minimum)

So far we haven’t noticed any serious issues, but we want to get ahead of anything that might come up

      That’s fair, can you link some of the posts? You can also DM me, or @[email protected]

      There isn’t much brigading since it gets dealt with, but it’s not impossible
