Globe editorial: The declining social good of social media The use of Grok to create fake and degrading images of women underscores the need to hold social media platforms accountable for what they publish

The declining social good of social media. Making social media companies responsible for content would curtail the free-wheeling nature of these platforms. Viewing them as a social good worth protecting is anachronistic in an era of AI. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... @theglobeandmail.com

This webinar is excellent.
It's a well prepared hour, designed to provide folks with viable approaches if we are bystanders to harassment or violence.

Nov 25 is the UN's International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Dec 6 is Canada's National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence against Women.

Carve out 1 hour of your time on either of those days to learn how you can address gender based violence in your community!

Sexual assault, femicide, domestic violence, etc. stories are all over the news these days and it can make us feel really overwhelmed and powerless.

Might I suggest signing up to learn bystander intervention? It'll give you concrete tools to feel empowered. And it's free!

Palestine on Campus: the Student Movement in Montreal Schools Since the first student encampment in solidarity with Palestine went up at McGill University last year, the student movement has only grown, organizing and diversifying tactics to pressure schools to divest academically and financially from Israel. In Palestine on Campus, The Rover’s Savannah Stewart and Justin Khan look back on the events of the last school year at McGill, Concordia and Dawson College, revealing how pro-Palestinian activism has raised tensions between university administrations and their student bodies and been the target of pushback from a variety of sources. Our investigation highlights an apparent lack of communication between university administrations and the student movement for Palestine, which enjoys broad support among the student body as evidenced by incredibly successful strike votes and divestment votes at both universities. In the absence of a meaningful reconciliation between the goals of the administrations and the demands of the students, we hope this documentary can help initiate the necessary conversations to chart a path forward. — Find in-depth investigative journalism, political commentary, podcast episodes and more at https://therover.ca/ Don’t miss out!
