Hootsuite should be shut down.

Working with Trump's gestapo is a bad look for Canada. Trump brought us within a hair's width of WW3 a few days ago threatening to invade an allied country. Now these fucks are trying to make a buck supporting Trump's fascist state apparatus? Disgusting.

Not to mention that Trump keeps directly threatening Canada and declaring his intention to annex (seize, invade, occupy) the country. To make propaganda for the US regime in this situation is treasonous.

What a wonderful alignment of state violence with corporate power.

Why the fuck would a Canadian company need to "build trust" with ICE?

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 15 hours ago

We're talking about a company of skids whose sole purpose in the market is to track you with invasive practices and enable SEO titheads to spam their BS across multiple social networks at once.

The bar for them is barely above the floor.

I think it refers to helping ICE "build trust" with the public - in other words, they want to be paid to produce propaganda for ICE.

Their office is within walking distance of me. I should egg their window or something.

Egg is an odd way to spell molotov. Is that Canadian spelling?

As cold as it is they should consider that a friendly gesture.

Here in Vancouver we've had like a week of below zero temperatures this entire season. It's been a very warm winter.

Hootsuite has always been a terrible company.

That is not an effective way to "build trust."

Dang it. Hootsuite used to be a decent marketing tool. When it was totally free, it was even good for those of us users who wanted a slimmed down version of our social media (Fb & Twitter in a single tab especially). It's disappointing to see them fall so far.
