Aaron Erlich, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, said it’s important to make people aware of misleading information online. But he said the wording in the CSIS campaign was “not the most straightforward” and appeared to be an attempt not just to educate but to invoke fear.

Erlich said clumsy messaging can backfire, and he would like to know if the messaging was tested at all to see how it would be received.

    So to you “woke” simply means not trusting everything you read on the internet?

    I think you might have a house hippo infestation you should look into.

      Uhhhhh, no???

      Trusting “official sources” just because they come from the government, some NGO, is from a major news corporation or has that absurd “fact checked” sticker slapped on it is woke.
