What's even worse? 

Well, one of these "productivity" surveillance companies recently "suffered a significant privacy breach as more than 21 million images of employee activity were left in an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket," according to Tom's Guide.

In Wednesday's new episode of The AmberMac Show podcast, Jeff and I discuss this further and tell you what went wrong.

Some stats from the latest study:

"The most common online hate speech topics cited in 2024 are the Israel/Palestine conflict, racism, antisemitism and anti-2SLGBTQ+ hate."

"Hate speech is also more pronounced within the 2SLGBTQ+ community where 27 percent have been personally targeted by online hate speech."

"News Is Blocked on Meta’s Feeds in Canada. Here’s What Fills the Void" -The New York Times, April 21, 2025

🇨🇦 On The AmberMac Show podcast, I spoke with journalist Kevin Newman about how he's fighting the rise in misinformation & disinformation with Get Fact.

Settle in. It's a good one.
🇨🇦 Hey ladies, I promised a party platform 🇨🇦 Hey ladies,

I promised a party platform update, so here it is. Pls share. ❤️ Pls get involved.

If you've ever needed health support & services, or struggled to get care or surgery, you might want to check out the difference between the two platforms 👇.

Don't even get me started on childcare support, which the Liberals support en masse, an investment that helps to GROW 📈 our ECONOMY at this pivotal time.

Don't even get me started on AI support, which the Conservatives announced they are defunding to the tune of billions - which will only HURT 📉 our ECONOMY at this pivotal time. 

As my brilliant friend @itsviviankaye says, you may not do politics but it does you. 

If you or your daughter or your niece or your mom needs healthcare support or childcare support, you best vote for the party that addresses these needs instead of pretending women are invisible and the same as men. 

Also, don't let people tell you that you're being irrational. Women have a long history of fighting for what we deserve and we have a long way to go. Listen to what you hear with your own two ears and what you see with your own two eyes ❤️.

😱 In my conversation on The AmberMac Show with Carina Chiu, Partner, Litigation & Dispute Resolution at McMillan, we spent 10 minutes diving into the AI voice clone threat and unpacking what laws exist in Canada right now to protect you from deepfake attacks. 

😢 Ladies, you should have a listen, especially since women are most often the victims of non-consensual deepfake porn.

It's a relief to see Mark Carney's plan to:

🤰Fund women's health priorities
♀️Protect women from gender-based violence
🚸 Strengthen child care support
👩‍💼 Unlock economic opportunities

⏰ If/when Pierre Poilievre releases his plan, I will also share how it supports women.

🖥️ In fact, many of these spaces are more dangerous - for both kids and adults - especially when it comes to misinformation and disinformation, deepfake audio and deepfake video.

🇨🇦 It is reassuring to hear a political lead 🇨🇦 It is reassuring to hear a political leader talk about the very real and dangerous threats women, girls, & young people face every day in Canada - including committing to making the production of non-consensual sexual deepfakes a criminal offence (if you've followed me for a while, you know this issue is important!).

Canada should be safe for everyone, but the stats tell a different story. 

Intimate partner violence and femicide is on the rise. Online harassment is worsening. It doesn't have to be this way. 

Vote wisely this April. 🇨🇦
