Elections Canada requests the help of social media giants, including X and Tiktok, “to make this election a safe election”. The Director General of the Elections of Canada, Stéphane Perrault, says he is satisfied with the response of the platforms so far.

The agency responsible for elections thus wants to try to avoid any attempt at foreign interference or disinformation aimed at influencing the electoral results.

Tiktok, whose parent company is based in China, a country targeted by interference allegations in Canada, said it consolidated his efforts to protect the Tiktok platform during the federal election season In a press release published on Sunday.

We protect the integrity of the elections by removing erroneous information on civic and electoral processes, associating with facts to assess the accuracy of the content and by labeling the affirmations which cannot be verifiedsaid the social platform.

Canadians will still have to be vigilant throughout the electoral period, warned the big boss of Elections Canada.

I encourage Canadians to find out about Canada elections, which is the official source of information on the federal electoral processlaunched Mr. Perrault.
