Dramatic rise in fake political content on social media as Canada prepares to vote

By the time the average adult realizes that big tech and social media are the primary attack vector criminals and oligarchs are using to spread disinformation and propaganda — that surveillance capitalism is the driving force behind support for the far right and fascism — we'll all be living in corporate-feudalist ruled authoritarian dictatorships.
I'm not confident the average adult will ever realize it. It's a horrible thought to me, but for the average US lower- or middle-class worker drone, how much would their actual daily life change?
Not if I have something to do about it. I'd rather die than live like that.
