Smugglers see the Canada-US border as an easy target. Unlike the US-Mexico border, much of it is unguarded wilderness. “They call it a border, but you can cross anytime you want,” said political scientist Shinder Purewal. “It’s really an undefended border.” Smugglers are brazenly using TikTok to advertise illegal crossings at the Canada-US border, complicating Canada’s trade and security talks with the U.S.,, according to a new report from the New York Post. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/northern-border-undefended-and-easy-target-canadian-coyotes-smuggle-migrants-montreal-new

The New York Post was able to get in contact with one smuggler, who quoted a price of $4,500 per person to cross into upstate New York from Montreal. “When you ready to go, send me your ID,” the smuggler said. The trip reportedly begins in Montreal, Brampton, or Surrey and ends in upstate New York or Washington state. The route to New York includes a two-hour car ride followed by a 25-minute walk through the woods. Migrants are then provided with a map to guide them past official checkpoints, with up to five people crossing at a time. https://thepostmillennial.com/canadian-coyotes-use-tiktok-to-sell-human-smuggling-services-to-would-be-border-crossers-report

Late Monday night aboard Air Force One, President Donald Trump told reporters that Microsoft is in discussions with the China-based tech giant ByteDance to acquire TikTok, according to a report from Bloomberg. "I would say yes," Trump told reporters when asked if Microsoft would purchase the short video app used by more than 170 million Americans. https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/trump-says-microsoft-talks-purchase-tiktok

"So I understand green energy, electric vehicles - Amazon is doing their part. Stay green. But doesn't it defeat the purpose when you have a diesel-powered generator electrifying all of the EVs? It makes no sense," the TikTok user said in the video. https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/watch-amazon-uses-huge-diesel-generator-charge-electric-delivery-van-fleet

This TikTok account pumped out fake war footage with AI — until CBC News investigated! 'AI slop' content represents a worrying trend, expert says https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ai-slop-ukraine-misinformation-1.7407773

Nothing like this has ever happened before. Nobody alleges that the electoral process itself was fraudulent. The only claim is that classified evidence supposedly exists allegedly suggesting that the popularization of Georgescu’s content on TikTok might have been inorganic. When all was said and done, however, more voters still chose him over anyone else. This means that speculative degrees of separation between them and a foreign actor via social media was enough to annual the election. This is a disturbing precedent that can easily be exploited by the West the next time that a populist conservative-nationalist with “politically incorrect” foreign policy views wins an election. At the time of writing, a redo hasn’t yet been scheduled, but it’s expected after the new pro-Western parliament convenes on 20 December. About that, their elections were held after the first presidential round, but no accusations of foul play followed. This is obviously due to the West receiving its desired result. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/romanias-constitutional-coup-meant-buy-more-time-nato-ukraine

Australia is gearing up to roll out some of the world’s strictest social media rules, with Parliament having pushed through legislation to bar anyone under 16 from creating accounts on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. It’s a sweeping measure but, as the ink dries, the questions are piling up. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s Labor government and the opposition teamed up on Thursday to pass the new restrictions with bipartisan enthusiasm. And why not? Opinion polls show a whopping 77% of Australians are behind the idea. Protecting kids online is an easy sell which is why it’s often used to usher in the most draconian of laws. Still, the devil—as always—is in the details. https://reclaimthenet.org/australia-strict-social-media-rules-youth-digital-id

In Canada, TikTok is attempting to get the authorities to reverse the decision to shut down its business operations by going to court – but also by recommending itself as a proven and reliable ally in combating “harmful content” and “misinformation.” https://reclaimthenet.org/canada-tiktok-court-battle-election-misinformation-crackdown
