Media Giant: Facebook Canada and Kevin Chan

media giant: In that respect, I think it is important for social media platforms to think critically about their current practices and how they can create spaces for informed dialogue and the information we consume, according to National Observer. Kevin Chan, head of public policy at Facebook Canada, said that Thursday's announcement is only the latest in a series of measures, with more to come. But after announcing some new steps on Thursday to tackle the problem, both the social media giant and the federal government admit much more needs to be done to safeguard the 2019 election. ; The digital age has provided malicious actors with more ways than ever before to pursue their objectives in a rapid and constantly evolving manner, said Minister of Democratic Institutions Karina Gould, at a business luncheon in Ottawa hosted by the Economic Club of Canada. Just in the past six months, Facebook has taken a lot of other important steps, he said at the event, held in a downtown Ottawa hotel. Facebook describes machine learning as the technology it uses to determine what people see in their newsfeeds when they log in to the site. For one, we've made it a lot more difficult for bad actors to spread inauthentic information with the use of machine learning and other means of enforcing our community standards and ad policy.
