Facebook Accounts: Ctv News and Minister

facebook accounts: Duclos was just one minister who had his photo and information mimicked on social media, according to CTV. Rural Economic Development Minister Bernadette Jordan, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett and Liberal MP Anthony Rota were also targeted, their offices confirmed to CTV News. We are aware of these instances in recent weeks that have affected MPs across party lines, and we continue to remain vigilant, said Families, Children and Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos' office in a statement e-mailed to CTV News. The Conservative party confirmed that roughly a dozen Tory MPs have also flagged fake Facebook accounts using their names. A government source familiar with the matter also confirmed that in one case, a minister's likeness was used in a conversation that mentioned money although the fake account did not explicitly ask for funds. Simon Jeffries, a spokesperson for the Conservatives, said the accounts were reported to Facebook and swiftly taken down. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
