The NWT government and city of Yellowknife are describing in tweets, Instagram messages etc. how to search key evacuation information on CPAC and CBC. The broadcast carriers have a duty to carry emergency information, but Meta and X are blocking links.

While internet access is reportedly limited in Yellowknife, residents are finding this a barrier to getting current and accurate information. Even links to CBC radio are blocked.

I hate that all our local stuff is on Twitter X.

It was acceptable when it was Twitter, after the Musk acquisition there’s no trust in the platform so I don’t get it anymore. They even made tweets private and these local governments are still on there!

Strikeout is a double Tilde

Thanks, strikethrough seems different in every markdown implementation.

Just doing my part

No, it wasn’t acceptable when it was Twitter.
